Key Takeaways on Goal Performance Discrepancy


  • When employees look forward, they engage in anticipatory thinking, strategizing for the day ahead.
  • Conversely, looking backward often leads to rumination, where they mull over their setbacks.
  • GPD promoted anticipatory thinking post work, which diminished GPD the following day.
  • GPD also intensified rumination post work, aggravating the next day's GPD.
