Comments on the original article by Locke and Latham (see record 2019-00998-001). In their legacy contribution, Locke and Latham (2019) passionately describe their career paths leading to their seminal book (Locke & Latham, 1990) of Goal Setting Theory (GST). I was fortunate to read the book “hot off the press” when working as a graduate student on the relation between goals and habits. Rooted in industrial psychology, GST aims to predict when people perform best, and especially when goal-setting makes money. I was also reminded that behaviorists discard the goal concept altogether (Skinner, 1953): A goal is nothing more than a convenient concept to study a subject’s habit of responding to a selected object (e.g., food). What to do, then, with the goal concept in research on habits (Aarts & Dijksterhuis, 2000)? I have two things to say. I would like to thank Locke and Latham for bringing the goal concept to the fore in psychology. Goals make people work and adaptable to changes. I also wish to convey some dismay about the theory’s lack of attention to address the processes that intervene between goals and actions, and especially the question how goals are set.
