Q
What did LOCKE’s theory of motivation suggest?
A
- Goals need to be set in order to motivate rather than keeping outcomes general.
- Goals must be specific and clear
- An easy goal is demotivating but a good balance of challenge is good.
- Employees have to you understand and buy into the goal from the outset.
- Managers should provide regular feedback throughout the whole process and this will keep the goal on track.
- Realistic timescales should be considered.
