"Only a few studies that have examined the effects of participation on an individual's goal acceptance and performance have been conducted within a cross-cultural context. In the present study, we tested for the contingency between the effectiveness of goal-setting strategies and cultural values" (Erez & Earley, 1987).

This LinkedIn article provides 6 considerations when adapting goal-setting strategies and processes cross-culturally.

This article presents research on goals and learning outcomes across nine cultural groups, addressing a gap in goal theory, which has been historically Western-centric.

This book chapter gives an in-depth look at motivation and goal-setting in cross-cultural work contexts.

This study demonstrates validity of "an instrument that measures the extent to which workers must deal with such “motivational job demands”; the Motivational Demands at Work Scale (Mind@Work)" (Taris & Hu).

This study presents research on goal-setting and task performance in a cross-cultural workplace in Nigeria of Yoruba, Igbo, and Hausa/Fulani participants.

In this activity, participants use the SWOT analysis method to critically analyze and revise intercultural and linguistic goals set at the beginning of the semester abroad experience, practice deeper reflection on weaknesses and challenges in order to make informed revisions to those goals, critically consider the influence of their context and assumptions on goal setting, and prioritize evidence and perspectives to draw logical conclusions in the revision of past goals.

This activity is designed for students who are studying abroad.

In this activity, participants contemplate and explain their culture-learning goals for their time during their semester abroad, develop logical and consistent plans to attain goals, and identify multiple approaches for attaining goals.

This activity is designed for students who are studying abroad.

In this reflection activity, participants articulate a nuanced understanding of one domain of intercultural knowledge and competence from the AAC&U Intercultural Knowledge and Competence VALUE Rubric, list activities that will help them personally develop in that domain, and identify evidence that signals they have personally developed in that domain.  

In this activity, participants experience and articulate emotions related to expectations and failure or success in goal-setting, compare the simulation scenarios to everyday communication with regard to goal-setting, and develop and implement successful goal-setting strategies, both in terms of communication and the goals themselves. 

In this activity, participants "develop and carry out an individualized learning plan," learn to "be more responsible, independent and directed in [their] learning," and "generate a statement on what it means to be a global citizen and to engage in a self-reflective process toward becoming a global citizen" by developing their own learning contract with their instructor (Ogden, 2009).
