ABSTRACT: The article presents empirical survey-based research investigating the
correlation between commitment to personally set goals and goals categories.
The findings demonstrate a significant relationship between commitment to goal
and goal category. The findings imply that goals can be attained or abandoned
based on the level of commitment. One of the core statements adopted within
research is that personal goals can cause higher levels of happiness. The study
contributes to the foundation of goal-setting theory, which has been described
as the main connection between commitment and performance. Moreover, the
research enriches studies on the role of goal commitment in goal-setting and
determinants of goal commitment.
