Download or read book Effects of Feedback and Goal Setting on Productivity written by Robert D. Pritchard and published by . This book was released on 1983 with total page 4 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The research described here is the most recent effort in a program of research sponsored by the Air Force Human Resources Laboratory and the Air Force Office of Scientific Research. The basic logic of this program is that it is appropriate to explore ways of increasing productivity which can be implemented by local management and which rely on intrinsic motivation to increase productivity.

Book Enhancing Productivity Through Feedback and Goal Setting

Download or read book Enhancing Productivity Through Feedback and Goal Setting written by and published by . This book was released on 1981 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The present research represents a field test of the effects of feedback and goal setting techniques on increasing productivity. Absolute and comparative, as well as personal and impersonal, feedback were manipulated. Goal setting was added to several of the feedback groups. Subjects were regular employees working on two clerical type jobs. The results indicated that both feedback and goal setting produced meaningful increase in productivity. Other major finding were (a) personal feedback was as effective as impersonal feedback, (b) absolute feedback was as effective as comparative feedback, (c) goal setting with feedback was more effective than feedback alone, (d) poorer performers were positively influenced by the treatment while better performers were largely unaffected, (e) attitudes under feedback and goal setting were as good or better than before the treatments. The findings are discussed in terms of potential application to ongoing Air Force settings. (Author).

Book The Impact of Goal Setting and Feedback on the Productivity of Navy Industrial Workers

Download or read book The Impact of Goal Setting and Feedback on the Productivity of Navy Industrial Workers written by Kent S. Crawford and published by . This book was released on 1983 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The objective of this effort was to implement and evaluate a goal-setting program for industrial workers at a Naval Air Rework Facility (NARF). This program attempted to improve worker motivation and productivity by integrating a new work measurement system with individual goal setting and feedback. Results indicated that workers with performance goals significantly improved their efficiency; workers with the most difficult goals improved the most. No difference was found between assigned and participative goal-setting groups. The program had a stronger positive effect on workers who were initially low performers than on those who were initially high performers. It was recommended that NARFs consider the newly-developed performance measurement system for goal setting and feedback as well as to provide worker efficiency data for their performance appraisal programs.

Book International Encyclopedia of Ergonomics and Human Factors Second Edition 3 Volume Set

Download or read book International Encyclopedia of Ergonomics and Human Factors Second Edition 3 Volume Set written by Waldemar Karwowski and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2006-03-15 with total page 1154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The previous edition of the International Encyclopedia of Ergonomics and Human Factors made history as the first unified source of reliable information drawn from many realms of science and technology and created specifically with ergonomics professionals in mind. It was also a winner of the Best Reference Award 2002 from the Engineering Libraries Division, American Society of Engineering Education, USA, and the Outstanding Academic Title 2002 from Choice Magazine. Not content to rest on his laurels, human factors and ergonomics expert Professor Waldemar Karwowski has overhauled his standard-setting resource, incorporating coverage of tried and true methods, fundamental principles, and major paradigm shifts in philosophy, thought, and design. Demonstrating the truly interdisciplinary nature of this field, these changes make the second edition even more comprehensive, more informative, more, in a word, encyclopedic. Keeping the format popularized by the first edition, the new edition has been completely revised and updated. Divided into 13 sections and organized alphabetically within each section, the entries provide a clear and simple outline of the topics as well as precise and practical information. The book reviews applications, tools, and innovative concepts related to ergonomic research. Technical terms are defined (where possible) within entries as well as in a glossary. Students and professionals will find this format invaluable, whether they have ergonomics, engineering, computing, or psychology backgrounds. Experts and researchers will also find it an excellent source of information on areas beyond the range of their direct interests.

Book The Effects of Feedback and an Implied Standard on Work Performance

Download or read book The Effects of Feedback and an Implied Standard on Work Performance written by Steven L. Dockstader and published by . This book was released on 1977 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Locke (1968) hypothesized that individuals will spontaneously set performance goals when their feedback is related to a standard of performance. This proposal was tested in an actual work setting by comparing the performance rate of keystroke operators who received feedback and a standard with that of a control group who received feedback alone. Performance comparisons over a 3-month period provided strong statistical support for the hypothesis. The outcome is discussed in terms of goal theory and the use of work standards to improve productivity. (Author).
