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.

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).
