Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Research has shown that having workers participate in goal setting increases their motivation to achieve the goals. This gives them a sense of ownership and accomplishment in their work. Setting progressively high goals and punishing workers who perform poorly can lead to stress and demotivation. Lowering the pressure on workers may help temporarily but does not address the underlying motivation issue.
