Management by Objectives (MBO) is a management process where managers and employees jointly set goals for employees to work towards. The goals are agreed upon by both parties and employees are evaluated based on their achievement of these goals. If goals are met within the agreed upon timeframe, employees may receive a raise or promotion. MBO involves five steps - determining organizational objectives, managers meeting with employees to set specific and measurable goals, monitoring progress, evaluating performance, and deciding on compensation changes based on goal achievement. MBO aims to empower employees by involving them in goal setting.
