Why do goals work?
Goals give an employee direction.
Goals influence the intensity with which an
individual works toward attainment of a goal.
Goals influence the persistence with which
an individual works toward attainment of a
goal.
Goals typically require individuals to develop
a strategy for goal attainment.
For goals to be effective motivators, they must
have the following characteristics:
1. Goal difficulty
Employees become more committed to
difficult goals. If a goal is too easy,
employees will not seriously commit to goal
attainment because there is no challenge.
However, if the goal is too difficult,
employees will not make a commitment
because they don't believe they can
accomplish the goal.
2. Goal specificity
The more specific a goal, the easier it is to
achieve. Specific goals provide more
detailed direction toward attaining that goal.
3. Employee participation in goal setting
An individual must internalize a given goal
before it becomes a motivation. The best
way to do this is for the individual to
participate in setting the goal. When
employees are involved in goal setting, they
have a much better understanding of the
goal, as well as how to achieve it.
