The document summarizes Edwin Locke's goal-setting theory of motivation from the 1960s. It states that specific, challenging goals along with feedback lead to higher task performance. Goals provide direction for employees and motivation to work towards attainment. Clear, measurable goals result in better output than vague goals. Goals should be realistic yet challenging to give a sense of pride and set employees up for future goals. Feedback further improves performance by directing behavior.

Goal-Setting Theory of Motivation
Fred C. Lunenburg
Sam Houston State University
ABSTRACT
Locke and Latham provide a well-developed goal-setting theory of motivation. The
theory emphasizes the important relationship between goals and performance. Research
supports predictions that the most effective performance seems to result when goals are
specific and challenging, when they are used to evaluate performance and linked to
feedback on results, and create commitment and acceptance. The motivational impact of
goals may be affected by moderators such as ability and self-efficacy. Deadlines improve
the effectiveness of goals. A learning goal orientation leads to higher performance than a
performance goal orientation, and group goal-setting is as important as individual goal-
setting.
Goals have a pervasive influence on employee behavior and performance in
organizations and management practice (Locke & Latham, 2002). Nearly every modern
organization has some form of goal setting in operation. Programs such as management
by objectives (MBO), high-performance work practices (HPWPs), management
information systems (MIS), benchmarking, stretch targets, as well as systems thinking
and strategic planning, include the development of specific goals.
Furthermore, goal setting is the underlying explanation for all major theories of
work motivation—whether that be Vroom’s (1994) VIE theory, Maslow’s (1970) or
Herzberg’s (2009) motivation theories, Bandura’s (1986) social cognitive theory, or
operant-based behaviorism (Skinner, 1979). Managers widely accept goal setting as a
means to improve and sustain performance (DuBrin, 2012). Based on hundreds of
studies, the major finding of goal setting is that individuals who are provided with
specific, difficult but attainable goals perform better than those given easy, nonspecific,
or no goals at all. At the same time, however, the individuals must have sufficient ability,
accept the goals, and receive feedback related to performance (Latham, 2003).

General Model
Edwin Locke and Gary Latham (1990), leaders in goal-setting theory and
research, have incorporated nearly 400 studies about goals into a theory of goal setting
and task performance. Figure 1 depicts a simplified view of goal-setting theory.
According to the theory, there appear to be two cognitive determinants of behavior:
values and intentions (goals). A goal is defined simply as what the individual is
consciously trying to do. Locke and Latham postulate that the form in which one
experiences one’s value judgments is emotional. That is, one’s values create a desire to
do things consistent with them. Goals also a.
The expectancy theory demonstrates the importance of rewards in relation to the effort-performance ratio. This lesson extends the knowledge of goal setting as a means of motivation employees to reach high levels of performance and satisfaction. At the end of the lesson students should be able to:
Explain how performance is affected by goal setting.
State the effects of goal setting on job satisfaction and performance.
Describe reward systems for fostering high performance.

The Three Theories I chose are:
10.1.3 Acquired Needs Theory
David McClelland offers another motivation theory based on individual needs.
▲ Need for achievement is the desire to do something better or more efficiently,
to solve problems, or to master complex tasks.
▲ Need for power is the desire to control other people, to influence their
behavior, or to be responsible for them.
▲ Need for affiliation is the desire to establish and maintain friendly and
warm relations with other people.
According to McClelland, people acquire or develop these needs over time as a
result of individual life experiences. In addition, each need carries a distinct set
of work preferences. Managers are encouraged to recognize the strength of each
need in themselves and in other people. Attempts can then be made to create
work environments responsive to them.
People high in the need for achievement, for example, like to put their competencies
to work, they take moderate risks in competitive situations, and they
are willing to work alone. As a result, the work preferences of high-need achievers
include individual responsibility for results, achievable but challenging goals,
and feedback on performance.
10.2.2 Expectancy Theory
Victor Vroom’s expectancy theory of motivation asks a central question: What
determines the willingness of an individual to work hard at tasks important to
the organization?
Expectancy theory suggests that “people will do what they can do when they
want to do it.” More specifically, Vroom suggests that the motivation to work
depends on the relationships among the following three factors:
▲ Expectancy: A person’s belief that working hard will result in a desired
level of task performance being achieved.
▲ Instrumentality: A person’s belief that successful performance will be
followed by rewards and other potential outcomes.
▲ Valence: The value a person assigns to the possible rewards and other
work-related outcomes.
Expectancy theory suggests that motivation (M), expectancy (E), instrumentality
(I), and valence (V) are related to one another in a multiplication-based equation:
M _ E _ I _ V
In other words, motivation is determined by expectancy times instrumentality
times valence. The multiplier effect has important managerial implications. Mathematically
speaking, a zero at any location on the right side of the equation (for
E, I, or V) results in zero motivation.
For example, a typical assumption is that people will be motivated to work
hard to earn a promotion. But is this necessarily true? If expectancy is low, motivation
will suffer. The person may feel that he or she cannot achieve the performance
level necessary to get promoted. So why try? If instrumentality is low,
motivation will suffer. The person may lack confidence that a high level of task
performance will result in being promoted. So why try? If valence is low, motivation
will suffer. The person may place little value on receiving a promotion. It
simply isn’t much of a reward ...

Is Understanding Employee Psychology the Secret to Boosting Engagement?Kashish Trivedi
Employee psychology is focused on why an employee behaves the way they do while performing their role.
This practice categorizes employee behaviors into predictable patterns. By studying those patterns, managers can effectively deal with both individual employees and entire teams.
Understanding employee psychology is incredibly beneficial to companies as it provides insight into an organization’s greatest asset (their employees). This empowers managers to effectively deal with different employee personality types.
Employee behaviors have been classified and put into predictable patterns understood as employee psychology. In better understanding employee psychology, managers can identify the most effective way to deal with both individual employees and teams of workers.

Memorandum Of Association Constitution of Company.pptseri bangash
www.seribangash.com
A Memorandum of Association (MOA) is a legal document that outlines the fundamental principles and objectives upon which a company operates. It serves as the company's charter or constitution and defines the scope of its activities. Here's a detailed note on the MOA:
Contents of Memorandum of Association:
Name Clause: This clause states the name of the company, which should end with words like "Limited" or "Ltd." for a public limited company and "Private Limited" or "Pvt. Ltd." for a private limited company.
https://seribangash.com/article-of-association-is-legal-doc-of-company/
Registered Office Clause: It specifies the location where the company's registered office is situated. This office is where all official communications and notices are sent.
Objective Clause: This clause delineates the main objectives for which the company is formed. It's important to define these objectives clearly, as the company cannot undertake activities beyond those mentioned in this clause.
www.seribangash.com
Liability Clause: It outlines the extent of liability of the company's members. In the case of companies limited by shares, the liability of members is limited to the amount unpaid on their shares. For companies limited by guarantee, members' liability is limited to the amount they undertake to contribute if the company is wound up.
https://seribangash.com/promotors-is-person-conceived-formation-company/
Capital Clause: This clause specifies the authorized capital of the company, i.e., the maximum amount of share capital the company is authorized to issue. It also mentions the division of this capital into shares and their respective nominal value.
Association Clause: It simply states that the subscribers wish to form a company and agree to become members of it, in accordance with the terms of the MOA.
Importance of Memorandum of Association:
Legal Requirement: The MOA is a legal requirement for the formation of a company. It must be filed with the Registrar of Companies during the incorporation process.
Constitutional Document: It serves as the company's constitutional document, defining its scope, powers, and limitations.
Protection of Members: It protects the interests of the company's members by clearly defining the objectives and limiting their liability.
External Communication: It provides clarity to external parties, such as investors, creditors, and regulatory authorities, regarding the company's objectives and powers.
https://seribangash.com/difference-public-and-private-company-law/
Binding Authority: The company and its members are bound by the provisions of the MOA. Any action taken beyond its scope may be considered ultra vires (beyond the powers) of the company and therefore void.
Amendment of MOA:
While the MOA lays down the company's fundamental principles, it is not entirely immutable. It can be amended, but only under specific circumstances and in compliance with legal procedures. Amendments typically require shareholder

A personal brand exploration presentation summarizes an individual's unique qualities and goals, covering strengths, values, passions, and target audience. It helps individuals understand what makes them stand out, their desired image, and how they aim to achieve it.
3. In 1960’s, Edwin Locke put forward the Goal-setting theory
of motivation.
This theory states that goal setting is essentially linked to
task performance.
It states that specific and challenging goals along with
appropriate feedback contribute to higher and better task
performance.
In simple words, goals indicate and give direction to an
employee about what needs to be done and how much
efforts are required to be put in.
4. The willingness to work towards attainment of goal is main
source of job motivation. Clear, particular and difficult goals
are greater motivating factors than easy, general and vague
goals.
Specific and clear goals lead to greater output and better
performance. Unambiguous, measurable and clear goals
accompanied by a deadline for completion avoids
misunderstanding.
5. Goals should be realistic and challenging. This gives an
individual a feeling of pride and triumph when he attains
them, and sets him up for attainment of next goal.
Better and appropriate feedback of results directs the
employee behaviour and contributes to higher performance
than absence of feedback. It helps employees to work with
more involvement and leads to greater job satisfaction.
6. Employees’ participation in goal is not always desirable.
Participation of setting goal, however, makes goal more
acceptable and leads to more involvement.
7. Self-efficiency- Self-efficiency is the individual’s self-
confidence and faith that he has potential of performing the
task. Higher the level of self-efficiency, greater will be the
efforts put in by the individual when they face challenging
tasks and vice versa.
Goal commitment- Goal setting theory assumes that the
individual is committed to the goal and will not leave the
goal.
8. The goal commitment is dependent on the following factors:
Goals are made open, known and broadcasted.
Goals should be set-self by individual rather than
designated.
Individual’s set goals should be consistent with the
organizational goals and vision.
9. Goal setting theory is a Goal setting leads to
technique used to raise better performance by
incentives for increasing motivation
employees to and efforts, but also
complete work quickly through increasing and
and effectively. improving the
feedback quality.
10. At times, the organizational goals are in conflict with the
managerial goals. Goal conflict has a detrimental effect on
the performance if it motivates incompatible action drift.
Very difficult and complex goals stimulate riskier behaviour.
If the employee lacks skills and competencies to perform
actions essential for goal, then the goal-setting can fail and
lead to undermining of performance.
There is no evidence to prove that goal-setting improves job
satisfaction.
11. Dr. Locke and Dr. Latham joint published "A Theory of Goal
Setting and Task Performance" in 1990.
Their book reinforced the importance of setting specific and
difficult goals.
It concluded that there were five fundamental
principles that lie behind effective goal setting. Not only
that but the degree to which these are present in a goal is
directly linked to the achievement of that goal.
12. Clarity Challenge
Commitment
Complexity
and Feedback
13. Clear goals are measurable and unambiguous.
When a goal is clear and specific, with a definite
time set for completion, there is less
misunderstanding about what behaviours will be
rewarded.
You know what's expected, and you can use the
specific result as a source of motivation.
14. One of the most important characteristics of goals is the
level of challenge.
People are often motivated by achievement, and they'll
judge a goal based on the significance of the anticipated
accomplishment
When setting goals, make each goal a challenge.
15. The last factor in goal setting theory
introduces two more requirements for
success.
For goals or assignments that are highly
complex, take special care to ensure that the
work doesn't become too overwhelming.
16. Goals must be understood and agreed upon if they
are to be effective. Employees are more likely to
"buy into" a goal if they feel they were part of
creating that goal.
Feedback provides opportunities to clarify
expectations, adjust goal difficulty, and gain
recognition. It's important to provide benchmark
opportunities or targets, so individuals can
determine for themselves how they're doing.
