Editing Goal setting (section)

=== Narrow focus ===
Goal setting theory has been criticized for being too narrow in focus to be a complete theory of work motivation as goals alone are not sufficient to address all aspects of workplace motivation. In particular, it does not address why some people choose goals they dislike or how to increase intrinsic rather than extrinsic motivation.<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Kehr|first=H. M.|title=Goal setting theory—Firmly entrenched, but narrow in its focus|url=https://doi.apa.org/doiLanding?doi=10.1037/mot0000132|access-date=2021-06-09|journal=Motivation Science|year=2019|volume=5|issue=2|pages=110–111|doi=10.1037/mot0000132|s2cid=191726678|url-access=subscription}}</ref>  This raises the possibility that goal setting may in turn be subsumed within a more comprehensive theory of work motivation in time.
