Goal setting is a process designed to increase ____ and ____ by specifying desired outcomes toward which individuals,teams,departments,and organizations should strive.

A) efficiency;effectiveness
B) authority;responsibility
C) legitimacy;satisfaction
D) clarity;structure

Goal setting aims to improve both efficiency and effectiveness by setting clear targets for individuals, teams, departments, and organizations to work towards. By setting specific and measurable goals, teams can work more efficiently towards achieving their objectives, which in turn can increase their effectiveness in achieving the desired outcomes. Option B is incorrect because goal setting does not necessarily relate to authority and responsibility, while option C is incorrect because goal setting is not directly related to legitimacy and satisfaction. Option D is partly correct, as goal setting can provide clarity and structure, but it does not capture the full scope of the benefits that goal setting provides.
