Based on what you have learned about goal-setting theory, what type of goals should you recommend to a friend who has taken a supervisory job?

A) Specific and difficult
B) General
C) Ones determined by management
D) Easy
E) Impossible

Specific and difficult goals are recommended for a friend who has taken a supervisory job. Such goals provide direction, challenge, and motivation to achieve them, which can result in increased job performance and satisfaction. General goals may not provide clear direction or focus, while goals determined by management may not align with personal and team aspirations. Easy goals do not provide a challenge, and impossible goals can lead to discouragement and low performance.
