Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Management by Objectives (MBO) is a process of joint goal setting between an employee and their manager, where goals are specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound (SMART). Therefore, the objectives for each individual should be set by the employee and his or her superior to ensure ownership and commitment to achieve the goals. Choice A would not foster employee engagement and choice B would not allow for individual ownership and personal accountability in achieving the objectives. Choice C could be an option in some cases, but it would not provide the necessary management guidance and alignment with the strategic goals of the organization.
