To achieve or not to achieve the goal - that is the question: Does frustration tolerance influence goal achievement in coaching clients?

Vicky Ellam & Stephen Palmer

Keywords: coaching, theory of planned behaviour, goal achievement, cognitive behaviour, rational emotive behaviour, low frustration tolerance.
