Which benefit results from involving staff members in the goal setting process?

• A. Vision and mission statements
• B. Individual salary negotiation
• C. Marketing slogans
• D. Short-term Absences

Answer: (A)

Involving staff in goal setting strengthens alignment with the organization’s vision and mission. When people help choose targets, they see how their work ties to the larger purpose, which boosts buy-in, motivation, and consistent actions that support that direction. Creating this shared understanding makes the vision and mission more tangible in daily tasks, rather than juggling isolated objectives. The other options don’t reflect this outcome, as salary negotiations, marketing slogans, or short-term absences are unrelated to the benefit of collaborative goal setting.
