Abstract
The issue of the composition of a sample on external validity is an important factor in most areas of organizational research. While knowledge about goal setting derived from white samples may be applicable to black samples, there are virtually no studies available to support such an assertion. The present study of 190 skilled technicians, 40 of whom are black, examines the moderating impact of race on the relationship between six-factor analytically derived task-goal. attributes and task-effort and performance measures. It was found that the black technicians report that different goal attributes are associated with task-effort and performance in an assigned goal-setting program than their white counterparts.
