Goal-Setting Process (Scenario)Steve Walker, the head of Human Resources at Talladega Instruments, wants to revamp the goal-setting process in his organization. Over the last several years, employees' goals have been the result of a simple top-down approach-goals set by top managers flow down through the organization and become subgoals for each organizational area. These goals are passed down to each succeeding level and guide individual employees as they work to achieve those assigned goals. However, it has recently been brought to Steve's attention that several employees are frustrated because they are unable to meet their goals and are losing out on their annual bonuses.Which of the following statements, if true, would support the argument for the use of the traditional goal setting
approach?
A. The company's allotted budget for the payment of employee incentives has been declining.
B. The company's senior executives have a clear idea about the direction they want the company to take.
C. The results of an in-house company survey reveal that employee engagement levels are at an all time low.
D. The company's profits have been on a downward spiral since the recent economic recession.
