ABSTRACT
This research explores how financial performance affects goal consensus between groups in organizations. It is argued that in the case of financially healthy firms, an improvement in performance results in decreased goal consensus, while in the case of financially troubled firms, the effect is the opposite. These hypotheses are explored in a sample of 47 organizations in the steel distribution business.
