1 设定明确而且具有挑战性的目标虽然证明能够提升绩效，但现在有些研究人员却认为设定目标也有负面影响。研究显示，在某些例子里，“组织目标设定”——职场绩效目标——与“认知损耗”及不道德行为有关，亚利桑那大学管理教授莉莎·欧德南指出。在许多组织里，员工一旦达到特定阶段的目标，管理阶层就会逐步“提高”未来的绩效目标，却因此造成意料之外的后果，她解释道。

Research has shown that in some cases ＂organizational goal setting＂- workplace performance targets-has been linked to ＂cognitive depletion＂ and unethical behavior, says Lisa Ordonez, a management professor at the University of Arizona.
