| Abstract: | This study examined the relationships among specified personality and individual characteristics of university students with their level of commitment to a measurable, results‐focused statement of an Ideal Vision. The study examined variables (including locus of control, generativity, self‐efficacy, values, and risk taking) to determine their relationship with an individual's commitment to an Ideal Vision. Concurrent assessments of individual differences and commitment were utilized to investigate the relationship these variables may have with an individual's commitment to the pragmatic leadership and management practice of using an Ideal Vision as the starting place for strategic planning, needs assessment, performance improvement, and decision making. |
