Ans: In Locke's goal-setting theory, three things are important: a particular goal, a

challenging objective, and feedback, which argues that an individual's performance improves

when they have a clear goal and receive appropriate feedback. If a person sets a specific goal

for himself or herself, or if another person sets a goal for him or her, and works diligently to

attain the goals with good intentions, this idea can help that person stay motivated at all

times.

In this instance, the insurance adjuster has a lot of experience but isn't confident in her

talents; she sees new successes as a result of chance rather than her own ability. In this

situation, the immediate supervisor should employ some motivational techniques, such as

Locke's goal setting theory, which states that the supervisor must set a specific and difficult

goal for her and receive feedback on it, as well as feedback from previous data, so that they

can understand their strengths and weaknesses and work to improve them. As a result, the

supervisor must first set a specific and clear goal to learn about her behaviour.

The supervisor might assign the insurance adjuster particular objectives. Her confidence will

be boosted if she achieves that precise objective. Gradually attaining goals would make her

realise luck plays a minor role. The supervisor might perhaps begin by assigning lesser

assignments and work his or her way up to the more challenging ones. Throughout the

procedure, the insurance adjuster will discover that she is capable of doing the

responsibilities.

After being challenged by a tough objective, the supervisor should strive to provide feedback

as she progresses toward accomplishing the goal; this will aid him in determining the

difference between the target and the progress; feedback is the difference between what she

has done and what her target is. Feedback is the one thing that boosts a person's confidence

while at work; if she receives positive feedback from her boss, she may abandon the luck
component and place her faith in her accomplishments. Supervisors can inspire her by

highlighting her talents, which will encourage her to take initiative in the job. And if she has

enough confidence, she may stop putting her faith on luck and instead focus on her

achievements.

When providing feedback, supervisors must take extra care to ensure that work does not

become too overwhelming when goals or assignments are very complicated. When a task

becomes too difficult, it can lead to work discontent and disengagement. She may resign or

leave the company.
