Goals must focus employees' attention on critical aspects of their jobs so that they can put in the required effort and take appropriate action towards achieving them. Simply creating calm behavior or providing relief without focusing on critical aspects of the job will not lead to goal achievement. Acceptance of goals by workers is also important but not necessary for the theory to work.
