Determining just how challenging to make goals creates a dilemma for many leaders. Followers exert the greatest effort when goals are accompanied by feedback. Goal commitment is likely to increase with follower participation in goal setting.

Answer 1

A). Easily attainable goals result in higher levels of effort and performance.

Step-by-step explanation:

The statement that most likely seems to be false about the goals is displayed through option A. It is false as it proposes a wrong assertion that easily attainable goals result in a higher level of effort and performance. Easily attainable goals never require a higher level of effort or performance instead such effort or performance is required to accomplish challenging goals. Easily attainable goals can be accomplished by a little effort and therefore do not offer many rewards while challenging goals require a greater effort which brings out the true potential of an individual that helps him/her to perform at his/her best. Thus, option A asserts a false claim.
