| Tiivistelmä: | Recently, several companies have introduced self-regulatory teamwork requiring changes in leadership behaviour and systems as well. Consequently a renewed interest has arisen in management by objectives (MBO) as a means for leading self-regulating teams. But how do MBO systems work and how effective are they? This paper analyses the MBO system of a company in the construction supply industry. The company had implemented MBO at team level five years ago. To explore the mechanisms and effect of MBO at team level a model for group goal setting was tested. Group goal commitment and group goals moderated by task interdependence are supposed to influence group processes as a mediating variable for group effectiveness. The findings do not consistently support this model. |
