Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Encouraging workers to set their own work goals gives them a sense of autonomy and ownership over their job, which can increase motivation and job satisfaction. Increasing supervision may actually decrease motivation and autonomy. Creating a goal of "increased production" without input from employees may not address underlying issues causing their dissatisfaction. Taking a more active role in telling employees how to solve problems may not give them the opportunity to develop their own problem-solving skills and may lead to feelings of micromanagement.
