Abstract
Goals can be set consciously or they can be primed. Both goal setting theory [3

The present paper describes both field and laboratory experiments that primed goals to pursue organizationally relevant tasks. The results suggest the benefit of testing the automaticity model within the framework of goal setting theory.
