         organisational performance than setting
         performance goals. Fact or Fiction?

         Asia HR sample: 73% think it’s a fact


         Is it true? No, this is fiction. 16% improvement in
         performance with goal setting – 1% for employee
         participation

WHAT CAN WE DO ABOUT IT?


© 2010 Organisation Solutions Pte Ltd
Some Ideas

         • Educate ourselves on evidence-based practice
         • Help educate decision makers about the relative
           strengths/weakness of different types of evidence
         • Expose HR to more good research
         • Create better dialogue between academic researchers and
           practitioners
         • Help translate meta-analytic studies so that HR practitioners
           can understand and use
         • Provide an evidence-based perspective to the media
         • Learn from and contribute to entities supporting this effort
           (e.g. CEBMa)
