This research examines the dimensionality of the Hollenbeck, Williams,
and Klein (1989) self-report measure of goal commitment on complex ta
sks. Results from three studies suggest that for complex tasks, respon
ses to a subset of items reflect performance expectancies while anothe
r subset of items reflect goal commitment. This response pattern is de
monstrated through differential temporal stability, differential relat
ionships with negative feedback reactions, and confirmatory factor ana
lyses. Practical and theoretical implications of the dimensionality of
this measure are discussed. (C) 1997 Academic Press.
