    UNDERSTANDING THE SELF

    SETTING GOALS FOR SUCCESS HIERARCHY OF NEEDS:


    • success is the outcome of hard work and
    determination that must be shaped over a
    long process.

    Motivation
    - directs a person’s behavior toward a particular
    goal.

    Goal
    - is the object toward which behavior is directed,
    usually within a specified period of time.
    - in the context of industrial/organization
    psychology, goal is simply what the individual is
    consciously trying to do.
    - for Edwin Locke and Gary Latham, goals direct
    attention, effort and actions.
    THE MOTIVATIONAL IMPACT OF SELF EFFICACY AND
    MINDSET
    FACTORS WHICH MAY INFLUENCE GOALS: • Psychologist Albert Bandura defines self-
    ➢ Values efficacy as the person’s belief that he/she
    - gives direction to behavior can successfully perform behaviors that will
    - those which the person considers personally produce desired effects
    important and worthy – it entails judgment of personal capacity and
    - could be the basis for what is desirable, actions
    correct, and good
    • Psychologist Carol Dweck introduced two
    ➢ Needs categories of mindset:
    - activate the behavior
    - motivation is usually aroused by the need for ➢ Fix mindset
    or lack or something that may propel a - believe that their basic qualities (e.g.,
    person to act intelligence or talents) are simply fixed traits
    - according to Drive-driven theory by Clark - worry about making mistakes
    Hull, humans are motivated to satisfy need in

    tension and consequently, homeostasis is hard work
    disturbed. - understand that mistakes and effort are
    critical to learning
    TWO CLASSIFICATIONS OF NEEDS: - welcome challenges and seek critical
    • Physiological needs feedback to help them learn
    - innate needs of the body (e.g., food, - embrace learning, mistakes, and effort
    water, air, sleep, and sex) that promotes achievement

    • Psychological needs
    - arise from friendship with other people GOAL SETTING
    (e.g., affiliation, achievement, altruism, • for goal setting to be most successful, it
    esteem, and status) should be SMART

    - specific, measurable, attainable, relevant,


    and time-bound
    - individuals perform at higher levels when
    asked to meet a goal that is concrete,
    achievable and realistic, and important to
    them
    - it also works best when there is a time frame
    for their completion

    ➢ Locke and Latham suggest that most


    effective performance results are attained
    when goals are:

    • specific and challenging


    • there is feedback on the results
    • when they are used to evaluate
    performance
    • when they create commitment and
    acceptance

    RULES OF GOAL SETTING:

    ➢ Set goals that motivate you. When you set


    your goals, it is important that they are
    personally important to you.

    ➢ Set SMART goal. Your goals must be clear


    and well defined so that you can measure
    the degree of your success. Be sure that
    your goals are attainable and personally
    relevant to you. Your goals must also have
    a time frame.

    ➢ Write your life goals. Make a chart and write


    a list of all the goals you want to achieve.
    Prioritize the items on the list, discard those
    unimportant, and make space for all the
    important and urgent activities you want to
    do such as studying your lessons.

    ➢ Develop an action plan for your future.


    Write steps to attain your life goals.

    ➢ Start working toward your life goals.
