Excerpt from Effective Goals for Complex Tasks: Towards a Broader Conceptualization of Specific-Difficult Goals
Naylor and llgen (1984) propose that there are two types of goal specificity. One type of goal specificity is quantitative specificity the degree of quantitative precision with which the level of performance of the desired outcome is defined); however, another type of goal specificity is content or outcome specificity the explicitness with which the content of the desired outcome is defined). For example, the goal of writing two publishable papers a year is specific with regard to both quantity and content. The goal of writing publishable papers is specific with regard to content but is not specific regarding quantity. The goal of making two scientific contributions a year is specific with regard to quantity but is not specific regarding the content of the goal (naylor 8 llgen, Although there is a substantial body of research on the effect of quantitative specificity on task performance, there is little consideration of the effect of content specificity on performance (exceptions include Campbell 8 Gingrich, 1986; Earley 1985, 1986; Erez 8 Arad, This paper therefore discusses how content specificity influences the performance of simple versus complex tasks.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book argues that goal systems - which include both a superordinate goal and supplementary subgoals - are a more effective way to set goals, and ultimately perform tasks, than traditional goal-setting methods. The author believes that the traditional emphasis on very specific, quantitative goals is less effective, especially when it comes to complex, managerial tasks. This book examines a range of qualitative and quantitative studies that have been done on goal-setting, and offers a new and more nuanced approach to understanding how goals can improve performance. The author's research suggests that goal systems are particularly effective for complex tasks because they provide more information to the individual performing the task. This information can help to clarify the task, increase the individual's motivation, and improve the quality of the action plan. The book concludes by discussing the practical implications of these findings for managers and organizations. If you're looking to improve your goal-setting strategies, this book is a valuable resource.
