Goal setting: An extension of the research.

Investigated whether goal-setting theory generalizes to other cultures by looking at the relation between goal setting and output among 92 Caribbean women who performed home-based piecework. Results confirm the hypothesis that setting specific and difficult goals would result in higher performance than no goal or a "do one's best" goal.
