Quizplus · Accepted Answer

According to Locke's goal-setting theory, conscious goals and intentions are the main drivers of behavior. People are motivated to work towards specific goals that they consciously set, and the level of effort they put in is determined by the perceived difficulty and importance of those goals. Subconscious (A), mandated (B), and reinforced (D) factors may also influence behavior to some extent, but they are not the primary determinants according to Locke's theory.
