a major source of work motivation. Goals tell an employee what needs to be done

performance than do easy goals; and that feedback leads to higher performance
than does non feedback.
Efficacy Theory, known also as social cognitive theory and social learning theory
Suggests that the higher your self-efficacy, the more confidence you have in your
