Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When individuals are involved in the goal-setting process, they are more likely to be committed to achieving the goals since they feel a sense of ownership in the process. This leads to higher job satisfaction, lower turnover rates, and higher productivity. Additionally, when employees are involved in the goal-setting process, they may set more challenging goals for themselves than their manager would set for them, which can lead to even greater performance improvements. Choice A is incorrect because involvement in goal-setting does not necessarily mean that individuals will set harder goals. Choice B is incorrect because involvement in goal-setting can still result in turnover or department transfers. Choice C is incorrect because managers should prioritize setting goals for individual employees, but involvement from the employees themselves can enhance the process.
