Just because a company sets a goal doesn’t mean that people will try to accomplish it. If workers don’t care about a goal,that goal won’t encourage them to work harder or smarter. Thus,the second step in planning is to develop commitment to goals.
Goal commitment is the determination to achieve a goal. Commitment to achieve a goal is not automatic. Managers and workers and workers must choose to commit themselves to a goal. Edwin Locke,professor emeritus of management at the University of Maryland and the foremost expert on how,why,and when goals work,tells a story about an overweight friend who lost 75 pounds. Locke says, “I asked him how he did it,knowing how hard it was for most people to lose so much weight.” Friend responded,”Actually,it was quite simple. I simply decided that I really wanted to do it.” Put another way,goal commitment is really wanting to achieve a goal.
