Question

in the given scenario, how can goal setting theory be applied to improve performance

Answer 1

Goal setting theory is a technique used to raise incentives for employees to complete work quickly and effectively. Goal setting leads to better performance by increasing motivation and efforts, but also through increasing and improving the feedback quality. People who set goals have more self-confidence, are less stressed and are happier and more productive at work. Goals are the expected results of specific actions. Setting hard goals increases an individual's persistence and thus transfers effort into commitment and motivation. This ultimately leads to increased performance, especially if the goals are set at a high level and are accepted by employees.
