New Developments in Goal Setting and Task Performance 1st Edition

This edited collection is a must for academics working in the fields of goal setting and motivation. It is just as helpful for managers, HR directors and others who want to keep abreast of major trends in research and theory on goal setting. This takes you far beyond simplistic notions of stretch goals or SMART goals and helps, instead, to unpack the role that emotions and cognitive appraisals have in the endeavor of goal pursuits. Recommended.

Even though it's a purely technical book, it has value for individuals who are looking for a proven goal setting and attainment framework.IMHO It's worth the effort put into translating the conclusions into action steps.

As a professional doing a PHD Thesis currently, my wife wanted this book. Her opinion is that the book lacks content relevant to her needs.
