Abstract

Premised on the idea that setting goals motivates action and allocation of resources toward a desired future state, goal-setting has become a key component of self-management support. The notions that underpin goal-setting situate self-management firmly within the control and responsibility of individuals. Yet, we argue that goals are not solely individual pursuits to be achieved if individuals have the right knowledge and enough motivation; rather, they are social products, influenced by individual and collective subjectivities, which are structured over time.
