The Impact of Goal Change on Prominent Perceptions and Beha viors of Emplo yees

Abstract

A model exploring the hypothesized impact of goal change on employee perceptions and behaviors was examined. Aspects of goal change were found to be significantly related to satisfaction, organ izational commitment, and absenteeism. Organizational com mitment was found to be related to turnover, but neither satisfaction nor organizational commitment was found to have a significant relationship with absenteeism. The implications of these findings are discussed.
