Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The optimal level of goal should be challenging but not impossible. If the goal is too easy, it won't motivate the employee to work harder, and if it is impossible, it will discourage the employee. Therefore, the best option is when the goal is challenging, but achievable with effort and skill. The other options are not necessarily true or are too extreme.
