How are commitment, feedback and complexity important to goals?
Commitment - commitment is associated with the amount of effort exerted, such that the more commitment, the greater the effort.

Feedback - feedback enables individuals to adjust their efforts accordingly, i.e. either by increasing effort if needed, or relaxing effort, if appropriate.
Complexity - complexity is inversely related to achievement. That is, as a task becomes more complex, other variables such as knowledge, skill, and ability will affect performance.
