Generally speaking, our research looks at the conditions for and the consequences of successful goal striving. On the one hand, we examine the characteristics that a goal should have in order to have a favorable effect on well-being and performance. On the other hand, we are interested in the volitional processes of goal implementation and goal disengagement, which occur when actions encounter obstacles. Our research has a wide range of implications for everyday life as well as practical applications (in health, sports, partnerships, business and administrative leadership, moral courage), as is reflected by our cooperation with business enterprises, sports and educational institutions.
