Recently,setting goals has received a lot of attention.Studies show that not all goals are the same,not all goals are suitable for every situation.Interesting findings have emerged over the past 20 years regarding demanding versus realistic goals,generic versus more precise goals,assigned versus participative goals,and finally learning versus performance-based goals.This systematic literature review aims to highlight the importance of goal setting theory in business and explore its fundamental concepts,by reviewing and evaluating the most recent studies,finally,to discuss potential applications and offer suggestions for further research.
