Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

MBO can increase performance pressure and stress on employees as they are held accountable for meeting specific goals and objectives. This can lead to negative outcomes such as burnout and decreased job satisfaction. However, there is no evidence to suggest that managers' attitudes decline with continued use or that superior/subordinate communication becomes more challenging. While organizational performance improvements may not be sustained in the long term, this is not necessarily a negative outcome of MBO as it can still lead to short-term gains.
