If manager asks an employee to participate in goal setting, then definitely he or she will be feeling motivated to attain that goal which are formed and set by taking his or her opinion and participation. When employees will be encouraged to state their goals publicly then chances are higher that top level management can have access to them so they can consider them while formulating goals. Top management should speak openly about their support for the employee's goals so they can think and feel that our organization is standing behind us all the times. Moreover, when managers will continually revise the goals and make it somewhat difficult from the previous ones them employees will be motivated to learn more and will try to attain and achieve those harder goals more effectively.
