Functions of Group Goals: Possible Generalizations from Individuals to Groups. (1998)

Abstract
Performance goals frequently facilitate the performance of individuals. There is also some evidence that goals have beneficial effects on groups or teams. However, much less is known about the latter than about the former. This report briefly reviews the goal setting literature for individuals and groups/teams. It follows this review with suggestions about ways to better understand and implement goals in groups or teams in order to benefit team performance and group members. Keywords: Performance feedback, Goal setting, Team performance, Performance strategies, Team training, Job satisfaction, Motivation. (sdw)
