Setting and Task Performance: 1969-1980</a>: Goal setting is most likely
to improve task performance when the goals are specific and sufficiently
challenging, the subjects have sufficient ability (and ability
differences are controlled), feedback is provided to show progress in
relation to the goal, rewards such as money are given for goal
attainment, the experimenter or manager is supportive, and assigned
goals are accepted by the individual.</li>
