Goal Motivation

Goal Motivation

Goals, like mindset, beliefs, expectations, or self-concept, are sources of internal motives and are together referred to as cognition.

As a cognitive mental event, a goal is a "spring to action" that functions like a moving force that energizes and directs our behaviour in purposive ways

Goal setting translates into performance only when the goals are challenging, specific, and congruent with the self.

Motivation at its best is spontaneous.

Other factors such as ability and resources also influence performance, and there is no direct correspondence between goals and performance.
