Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Encouraging workers' participation in goal setting has been shown to increase goal commitment because individuals are more likely to commit to and work towards goals that they have had a hand in creating. When employees are involved in the goal-setting process, they feel more ownership and responsibility for achieving those goals. Assigning goals to workers may not increase their commitment if they do not feel invested in the goals or understand why they are important. Getting top management's support and assigning unattainable goals may also have negative consequences on goal commitment. Management by mentoring is not directly related to increasing goal commitment.
