Clarity of task difficulty moderates the impact of the explicit achievement motive on physical effort in hand grip tasks.

Stable personality dispositions, like motives, are often assumed to exert a direct, stable impact on behavior. This also applies to the explicit achievement motive, which is supposed to influence the behavior that individuals select and how strongly they engage in it. Drawing on motivational intensi...
