Kombushya is known for its handcrafted drinks that come in uniquely shaped bottles. It sells its drinks exclusively on-line. It has a team of 3 workers who place bottles of drink in specially designed containers for shipping to customers. An average worker can pack about 250 bottles per day. Kombushya wants to ensure that workers are working at maximum efficiency but still placing the bottles into the cartons carefully, because they break easily.

It is considering the following incentive scheme: paying workers a fixed salary of $500 per day.

What would Goal Setting Theory suggest about the impact of this incentive scheme?
