✦ Synopsis

The Pygmalion eect, a type of self-ful®lling prophecy, has been demonstrated in educational settings with empirical studies, qualitative reviews and meta-analyses. It has also been studied in organizational settings. This meta-analysis provides a review of the Pygmalion literature, an analysis of ®ndings to date, and a deeper look into the nature of the eect. The present analysis of 13 eect sizes revealed an overall d for the Pygmalion eect in work organizations of 0.81. Moderator analyses revealed stronger eects when the initial level of performance was low and when the experiment took place in a military rather than a business setting. Implications of these ®ndings are discussed. Copyright
