How do people maintain goal pursuit when confronted with the risk of failure? In two studies (n ¼ 62 and n ¼ 49), we investigated whether a threat of failure manipulation, either or not involving the self, would affect self-regulation in women who were concerned about their weight. We expected that potential goal failure would result in greater distress and influence strategies for goal pursuit and self-control. Study 1, involving normal weight women, found that self-relevant goal threat resulted in greater distress but that distress did not affect self-regulation. Study 2, involving both normal weight and overweight women, found similar results. However, women who were exposed to objective goal threat and at the same time received feedback that the self was not involved spent more time on planning strategies for goal pursuit and demonstrated higher self-control. It is concluded that information emphasizing both opportunities for goal achievement and the necessity to act is sufficient for engaging in self-regulation.

“…Specifically, they suggested that conscientiousness and ES are associated with accomplishment striving, which motivates employees to direct considerable attention, time, and energy towards the completion of work tasks. Whereas conscientious employees are highly motivated towards task achievement, emotionally unstable employees are less likely to be goal oriented and may instead be motivated to reduce negative emotions and avoid task failure (Barrick et al , 2003; Malouff, Schutte, Bauer, & Mantelli, 1990). Researchers have acknowledged that CWB may reflect instrumental or goal‐oriented behaviour (e.g., Fox & Spector, 2010; Neuman & Baron, 2005), but few studies have examined personality and CWB from this perspective.…”

“…They argue that conscientiousness and ES are valid predictors of employee behaviour across jobs because they are associated with goals related to task achievement. Specifically, conscientious employees are more likely to set and pursue task‐related goals at work, whereas because emotionally unstable employees are prone to depression and hopelessness, they are less likely to be goal oriented (Malouff et al , 1990). Instead, low ES may be associated with the motivation to reduce negative emotions or avoid failure.…”

We leverage conservation of resources (COR) theory to explain how conscientiousness and emotional stability (ES) are associated with resource management strategies that may reflect instrumentally driven counterproductive work behaviour (CWB). Specifically, we investigated how the relationship between conscientiousness and CWB varies as a function of the level of available personal (i.e., ES) and organizationally provided (i.e., experienced job constraints) resources. Results from two surveys administered 4 weeks apart to US employees indicate that the negative relationship between conscientiousness and CWB is positive among employees who are low in ES.

“…Oni su kroz meta-analitičku studiju zaključili da je Savesnost značajan prediktor uspeha na poslu kod svih profesija uključenih u studiju i na tri različita kriterijuma uspeha. Pomenućemo i istraživanje koje su realizovali Malouff, Schutte, Bauer i Mantelli (Malouff, Schutte, Bauer, & Mantelli, 1990), koje pokazuje da su osobe sa visokim skorovima na Neuroticizmu manje sklone postavljanju ciljeva i istrajnosti u njihovom ostvarivanju. Na značaj savesnosti i neuroticizma ukazuje i istraživanje koje su sproveli Goodstein i Lanyon (Goodstein & Lanyon, 1999), u kom su se pomenute osobine pokazale kao značaj-ni prediktori poslovnog uspeha.…”
