Workplace Motivation Part One: Goal-Setting

            Motivation in the workplace is the heartbeat to creating a great cultural environment in organizations. Motivation in the workplace has been researched by many industrial and organizational psychologists for years and there is room for more research to be conducted. A tool to help organizations with workplace motivation has been goal-setting. Goal-setting behaviors represent core processed-based motivational foci which address the qualities of effective goals (Salas, Kozlowski, & Chen, 2017). Once goals are set the employee has something to strive for within their work frame. As Collins states in Good to Great, allow the team to have freedom within the framework.
