Goal-setting theory demonstrates that hard goals result in a higher level of individual performance than do easy goals, that specific hard goals result in higher levels of performance than do no goals at all or the generalized goal of “do your best,” and that feedback on one’s performance leads to higher performance. Compare these findings with MBO.
MBO directly advocates specific goals and feedback. MBO implies, rather than explicitly states, that goal must be perceived as feasible. Consistent with goal setting, MBO would be most effective when the goals are difficult enough to require the person to do some stretching.
The only area of possible disagreement between MBO and goal-setting theory relates to the issue of participation-MBO strongly advocates it, while goal setting demonstrates that assigning goals to subordinates frequently works just as well. The major benefit to using participation, however, is that it appears to induce individuals to establish more difficult goals.
