The Goal Setting Theory
=== The Goal Setting Theory was developed by Locke in 1968 through the publication of his article “Toward a Theory of Task Motivation and Incentives”. This theory was confirmed through the experiments of Dr. Gary Latham, who performed experiments in the workplace setting. The two collaborated to develop the 5 principles of goal setting in their 1990 book “A Theory of Goal Setting & Task Performance”. The 5 Principles the two outlined are Clarity, Challenge, Commitment, Feedback and Task Complexity. ===
