A seminal work in the field of motivation by the leading author on the
topic, this classic has been fully revised and updated to include and
distill the most current research from top international scholars.
Drawing upon his experiences as a staff psychologist and consultant,
Gary P. Latham writes in a mentor voice that is highly personal and
rich in examples, providing a unique behavioral science framework for
motivating employees in organizational settings. The book offers a
chronological review of the field, and a taxonomy for the study and
practice of motivation, complete with anecdotes about the major
thought leaders in the field of motivation and behind-the-scenes
research accounts. Highlights of this updated edition include new
findings in goal-setting research, including insight into the dark
side of goal-setting; more on the self in motivation, including
self-regulated learning, self-evaluation methods, and the significance
of self-efficacy as a predictor of performance and satisfaction; and
more trending in the area of positive psychology and prosocial
behavior in organizations.
