WHAT IS
“GOALS”?
Understanding the Self:
Setting Goals for Success
GOALS are...
the object toward which the
behaviour is directed, usually
within a specified period of time. For
Edwin Locke and Gary Latham
(2006), goals direct attention, effort,
and actions. Goals motivate people
to develop strategies that will
enable them to perform better.
WHAT ARE
THE FACTORS
INFLUENCING
GOALS?
VALUES1.
Values give direction to behavior. Values are those which
the person considers personally important and worthy.
They could be the basis for what is desirable, correct, and
good. Individuals act in ways that allow them to express
their important values and attain the goals underlying
them (Sagiv, Roccas, Cieciuch, & Schwartz, 2017).
2. NEEDS
Needs also activate and direct behavior. Motivation is
usually aroused by a need for or lack of something that
may propel a person to act.
2. NEEDS
According to drive-reduction theory, humans are motivated
to satisfy needs in order to maintain homeostasis or
internal equilibrium (Atkinson, Atkinson, Smith, Bem, &
Nolen-Hoeksema, 2000). Unmet needs will cause a state of
bodily tension and, consequently, homeostasis is disturbed.
TWO CLASSIFICATIONS OF
NEEDS:
PHYSIOLOGICAL
NEEDS
PSYCHOLOGICAL
NEEDS
Physiological needs are innate
needs of the body such as
food, water, air, sleep, and sex.
Psychological needs arise from
relationship with other people
such as affiliation,
achievement, altruism,
esteem, and status.
Abraham Maslow’s
theory suggests...
how needs motivate behavior. The late psychologist
developed the theory of hierarchy of needs presented in
the shape of a pyramid with the biological or physiological
needs at the bottom and the need for self-actualization at
the top.
THE
MOTIVATIONAL
IMPACT OF
SELF-EFFICACY
AND MINDSET
Psychologist Albert Bandura defines self-efficacy
as the person's belief that they can successfully
perform behaviors that will produce desired effects.
Self-efficacy entails judgment of personal capacity.
It plays a central role in people's thoughts,
motivations, and actions. Bandura suggests that
efficacy beliefs influence students' academic
performance.
THE MOTIVATIONAL IMPACT OF SELF-EFFICACY AND MINDSET
Psychologist Carol Dweck (2008), says there are
two categories of mindset—fixed mindset and
growth mindset. People with fixed mindset
believe that their basic qualities, like their
intelligence or talents, are simply fixed traits.
Those with growth mindset, in turn, believe that
their most basic abilities can be developed
through dedication and hard work.

GOAL-
SETTING
In the context of industrial/organizational
(I/O) psychology, goal setting is the process
of improving work performance of
individuals (Locke & Latham, 2006). For goal
setting to be most successful, goals should
be SMART—specific, measurable,
attainable, relevant, and time-bound.
RULES OF
GOAL-
SETTING
Set goals that
motivate you.
1.
When you set your goals, it is important that they are
personally important to you.
2. Set SMART goals.
Your goals must be clear and well defined so that you can
measure the degree of your success. Be sure that your
goals are attainable and personally relevant to you. Your
goals must also have a time frame.
3. Write your life
goals.
Make a chart and write a list of all the goals you want to
achieve. Prioritize the items on the list, and make space for
all the important and urgent activities you want to do such
as studying your lessons.
4. Develop action
plan for your future.
Write the steps to attain your life goals.
5. Start working
toward your life goal.
For questions and clarifications,

Success does not happen
only with goals or
ambitions. Success is the
outcome of hard work
and determination that
must be shaped over a
long process.
