Abstract
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.
