Abstract

Expected positive consequences are predictors of effort expenditure in goal pursuit (Sheldon & Elliot, 1999).However, there are indications that this relationship is moderated (Locke & Latham, 1990) or mediated by commitment.A sample of 388 university students was administrated questionnaires in order to measure goal commitment, effort and positive expected goal attainment consequences.The results suggest that goal commitment is not a moderator of the relationship between positive expected goal attainment consequences and exerted effort but rather mediates the relationship.The findings outline that expected consequences in terms of cost-benefit analysis as another type of expectations are associated with effort, too.
