Examples of achievement in the following topics:
-
- Performance standards motivate employees and management to use their time efficiently by setting achievable objectives.
- Managerial effectiveness is often assessed on the ability to achieve performance targets.
- For the employee to achieve them, objectives should be clear and simple to understand.
- Goal setting means establishing what a person or an organization wants to achieve.
- It aims to design goals that are specific, measurable, achievable, realistic, and time-targeted (SMART).
-
- At another level, the choices of means to achieve a given end may appear to be based on efficiency.
- Ethics is the study of the process by which an objective (and/or the means used) is judged "right or wrong. " Efficiency is a measure of the extent to which an objective is achieved.
- Efficiency can only be used to evaluate the means used to achieve a goal or end.

- Supporters of tracking argue that it allows for higher achievement of high-ability students.
- Supporters of tracking also note that it allows for higher achievement of high-ability students.
- In other words, tracking can promote even higher achievement among high-achieving students, but it does little to improve the achievement of lower achieving students.
- As opposed to tracking, students are no longer placed in groups based upon academic achievement or ability.
- Critics argue that tracking can promote even higher achievement among high-achieving students, but it does little to improve the achievement of lower achieving students.

- Teachers' perception of students' knowledge and abilities influences classroom processes and student achievement.
- How teachers perceive students' knowledge and abilities influences classroom processes and student achievement.
- In other words, when teachers believe students will be high achievers, those students achieve more; conversely, when teachers believe students will be low achievers, those students tend to achieve less.
- Teachers' expectations may also be gendered, perhaps explaining some of the gender achievement gap.
- Therefore, these stereotypes can influence student achievement in these areas.
-
- In an open class system, people are ranked by achieved status, whereas in a closed class system, people are ranked by ascribed status.
- President Barack Obama was born to a family without wealth and faced racial discrimination, but achieved the highest office in the country as a result of his personal achievements.
- In an open class system, the hierarchical social status of a person is achieved through their effort.
- Achieved status is a position gained based on merit or achievement (used in an open system).
- Social mobility is much more frequent in countries that use achievement as the basis for status.
-
- Gamification is a technique intended to leverage inclinations toward competition, achievement, status, and self-expression.
- Gamification techniques are used to leverage natural desires for competition, achievement, status, self-expression, altruism, and closure.
- Types of rewards include points, achievement badges or levels, the filling of a progress bar, and virtual currency.
-
- Productive efficiency occurs when production of a good is achieved at the lowest resource cost possible, given the level of production of other goods.
- The concept is illustrated on a production possibility frontier (PPF) where all points on the curve are points of maximum productive efficiency (i.e., no more output can be achieved from the given inputs).
- Production efficiency occurs when production of one good is achieved at the lowest resource (input) cost possible, given the level of production of the other good(s).
- So, consumers may pay less with a monopoly, but a monopolistic market would not achieve productive efficiency.
-
- David McClelland describes three central motivational paradigms: achievement, affiliation and power.
- Psychologist David McClelland developed Need Theory, a motivational model that attempts to explain how the needs for achievement, power (authority), and affiliation affect people's actions in a management context.
- People who are strongly achievement-motivated are driven by the desire for mastery.
- He also believes that although individuals with a need for achievement can make good managers, they are not generally suited to being in top management positions.
-
- The primary benefit of teamwork is that it allows an organization to achieve something that an individual working alone cannot.
- Such support can encourage people to achieve goals they may not have had the confidence to have reached on their own.
- Greater sense of accomplishment: When members of a team collaborate and take collective responsibility for outcomes, they can feel a greater sense of accomplishment when they achieve a goal they could not have achieved if they had worked by themselves.
- While we might consider simply achieving a goal a benefit of teamwork, by taking advantage of what teamwork has to offer, an organization can gain a broader set of benefits.
-
- Motivating employees can lead to increased productivity and allow an organization to achieve higher levels of output.
- However, it is widely accepted that motivated employees generate higher value and lead to more substantial levels of achievement.
- The management of motivation is therefore a critical element of success in any business; with an increase in productivity, an organization can achieve higher levels of output.
- Herzberg's theory emphasizes that while salary is enough to avoid dissatisfaction, it is not necessarily enough to propel employees to increase their productivity and achievement.
