To Pursue Or Not to Pursue: the Impact of Group Identification on Individual Goal Pursuit
We examine the impact of group identification on individual goal pursuit. We show that when an interdependent (vs. independent) group member highly identifies with its group, the vicarious goal fulfillment of the individual’s goals, resulting from the group’s successes, will result in disengagement from continued individual goal pursuit.
