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.
