Goal setting is key to effective performance in work and organizations yet is neglected both by researchers and practitioners. This new volume is both hugely exciting and invaluable in advancing understanding of one of the (if not the) most important breakthroughs in the psychology of workplace behaviour – and it is edited by the scholars who made that breakthrough. This is truly a ‘must read.’\"\u003c\/em\u003e - \u003cstrong\u003eMichael West, Lancaster University Management School, Lancaster University, UK\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"\u003cem\u003eGoal setting theory has been one of the most applied theories in guiding management practice. Its effectiveness is largely due to the fact that it is an inductively based theory for which new discoveries have been and will continue to be made, leading to qualifications and additions to the theory. In this volume, Locke and Latham assemble the discoveries relevant to goal setting theory since 1990, and show how they have enlarged the context of the theory. This volume is of eminent importance for all who are interested in understanding and studying motivation and self-regulation. It also caters to an international readership from scholars to practitioners from a wide variety of disciplinary backgrounds.\"\u003c\/em\u003e - \u003cstrong\u003eMo Wang, Co-Director of Human Resource Research Center, Warrington College of Business Administration, University of Florida\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\"Drawing upon 50 years of goal setting research and practice, this indispensable volume assimilates fresh discoveries and applications across an exceptionally broad range of disciplines.

They take goal setting broad-band, over many levels of natural systems. It will be a classic.\"\u003c\/em\u003e - \u003cstrong\u003eCraig C.
