Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Goal congruence exists when employees are motivated to make decisions that align with the goals of the organization. This is achieved through the use of incentives created by a management control system. Short-run and long-run goals may not necessarily be the same, and the fact that performance reports are used constructively may help achieve goal congruence, but it is not the defining factor. The management control system must reflect the organization's goals in order to achieve goal congruence.
