THE IMPACT OF PARTICIPATION ON GOAL ACCEPTANCE AND PERFORMANCE: A TWO-STEP MODEL.
Abstract
Past research has tested goal setting strategies and found high and invariant levels of goal acceptance. The present research consisted of two studies—one laboratory and one field experiment—hypothesizing a two-step model (participation acceptance performance) with which participation could be tested more effectively. Stepwise, hierarchical regression analyses demonstrated that the participative and representative groups outperformed the assigned groups under conditions in which individual goal acceptance varied. The findings support the two-step model and offer an explanation as to why previous research has failed to differentiate empirically between participative and assigned goal setting.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
