GOAL SETTING FOR UNIVERSITY UNDERGRADUATE STUDENTS MAJORING IN HOSPITALITY MANAGEMENT � ANEMPIRICAL EVIDENCE FROM INDONESIA

This research is about how goal attainment is being affected by goal setting elements and self efficacy. One hundred and sixty seven undergraduate students majoring in Hospitality Management (representing 79.5% of the population) were being asked to fill out a questionnaire about how their Grade Point Average is being influenced by their goal setting elements and their beliefs on their capability. The analysis using Discriminant Analysis stated that only goal setting elements, particularly goal effectiveness and goal stress discriminate the students� performance. Goal stress must be perceived positively to produce the positive impact. The result is expected to provide insight for academicians particularly academic program managers on how to continue the sophomore�s study as well as
getting ready with the new batch in the new academic period.
