  KEYWORDS: Personal Goals, Happiness, Goal-Setting, Goal Commitment

  JOURNAL NAME: Open Journal of Social Sciences, Vol.11 No.9, September 20, 2023

  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.
