Daily Goal Regulation in Various Work Contexts: Different Theoretical Perspectives

Abstract

This symposium presents cutting-edge research on workers’ daily goal process— what facilitates or interrupts daily goal pursuit and the downstream consequences, as well as the potential individual-level and daily-level contingencies. Decades of research have highlighted the importance of goal-setting and goal content, but the dynamic nature of daily goal processes is not fully understood yet. Therefore, this symposium presents four studies that examine daily goal processes from various perspectives and suggest ways to facilitate successful goal achievements. Building on multiple theoretical perspectives, these four studies advance our understanding of what creates obstacles of daily goal attainment, the outcomes of goal interruptions or failure, and possible remedies.
