Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The optimal level of goal difficulty occurs where the goal is challenging but not impossible. This is because goals that are too easy may not motivate employees, while goals that are impossible may demotivate them. If the goal is challenging but achievable, employees will be more engaged and motivated to work towards achieving it.
