Which of the following is TRUE about goal setting theory? A. Specific, difficult goals are best. B. Difficult goals reduce motivation. C. Employees work hardest and are most engaged when the goals are easy. D. Equity is the greatest moderator of goal achievement

Respuesta :

Answer: A. Specific, difficult goals are best.

Explanation:

A wealth of research such as the Goal-Setting Theory by Edwin Locke have gone into proving that Specific, difficult goals are best for Motivation.

The premise behind this logic is that if you focus on a specific goal, you can channel proper energy to it and can work towards it rather than vague goals.

For example, if you say you're going to write a book by the end of the year. That's a bit vague. If you say however that for 10 hours each week you'll endeavour to write at least 2 chapters of the book, that's Specific and you'll have a better chance of accomplishing that.
