Goal Setting Theory
Culture can affect the goal setting process
- In low power distance countries (e.g. Israel) participation in goal setting is stronger and more important (people are more committed to goals they participate in setting)
- In high power distance countries (e.g. USA) employees commit to supervisor set goals (direct participaton not necessary)
- In collective countries (e.g. China) self-efficacy is low (due to relationships as basis to accomplish tasks contrast to one‘s own belief in one‘s talents)
