“…Then, we asked them to use a 5-point Likert scale to rate the relative importance of each selected goal (1 = not important at all , 5 = extremely important ). Goal importance was calculated as the mean of these items’ scores (Cifalinò et al, 2020).…”

“…Empirical evidence has shown that individuals must find the team or organizational goals important to perform well (Cifalinò et al, 2020;Locke & Latham, 2013) or to show high motivation in meeting group-centric goals in collaboration (Kleingeld et al, 2011). In fact, goal importance is one of the key moderators of goal-setting theory (Locke & Latham, 2013).…”

BackgroundCommunity–academic health partnerships (CAHPs) have become increasingly common to bridge the knowledge-to-practice gap in health care. Because working in such partnerships can be excessively challenging, insights into the individual-level enablers of high performance will enable better management of CAHPs.PurposeSteered by the goal-setting theory, this study examined the relations between goal clarity, goal stress, goal importance, and their interactions on perceived project performance among individuals working in CAHPs’ constituting projects.MethodologyUsing a convergent mixed-method research design, online survey data were collected from 268 participants working in a variety of CAHP projects in three German-speaking countries. We tested the hypotheses using structural equation modeling, after which thematic analysis was carried out on the 209 open-ended responses.ResultsCAHP project performance was positively associated with goal clarity and negatively associated with goal stress. A three-way interaction analysis showed that when goal importance was high, the relationship between goal clarity and project performance remained positive regardless of the level of goal stress. The qualitative data corroborate this finding.ConclusionIn CAHP projects, high goal importance offsets the negative effect of goal stress on project performance, indicating that workers who perceive the project goals as important can manage the stress associated with demanding goals better.Practice ImplicationsTo achieve high project performance in CAHPs, organizational and project leaders should (a) set clear project goals, (b) facilitate project workers in dealing with stress resulting from overly demanding goals, and (c) emphasize the importance of the project goals, especially when goal stress is high.
