Abstract
In this thesis, we intend to make two distinctive contributions to the performance

management- and goal setting research of Kuvaas, Buch & Dysvik (2014),

Kuvaas and Buch (2016) and Kuvaas and Buch (2017) regarding perceiving goals

as invariable (PGI). Firstly, we investigate two new potential antecedents to PGI;

leader mindset and leader self- and other interest, and further, the mediating role

of leader-member exchanges in the relationship between leader characteristics and

follower PGI. Secondly, we investigate whether PGI reduces followers’ ability to

take charge in the workplace. By employing a cross-sectional design, we have

gathered data from leaders and employees in different departments within a big

Nordic Bank.

In study 1, we found that LMX mediated the relationship between leader otherinterest

and follower PGI, such that a high quality of LMX (SLMX) was

negatively associated with PGI, and contrary, that a low quality of LMX (ELMX)

was positively associated with PGI. In study 2, we found no support for the

relationship between PGI and taking charge. Finally, limitations, directions for

future research and practical implications are discussed.
