Q1) What is the link between Locke's (1968) goal setting theory and performance appraisals in organisations?
Answer: Locke suggests that employees are motivated by goals that are specific, unambiguous, challenging and perceived to be important.Setting goals helps employees to focus their attention and commitment on a particular task.During performance appraisals employees are evaluated against criteria that measure how well they perform certain aspects of their jobs.These criteria often take the form of statements that specify the goals to be achieved, the standard to be achieved and the time at which the goals should be completed.Therefore, HRM needs to communicate clear and desirable performance targets to all employees.This enables the employees to realise what is expected of them on the job, provides direction to them in their work and clarifies performance standards.
