Our research has the importance of improving performance and the effectiveness of goal-setting in motivating individuals to achieve their goals. Recent research suggests that motivation is a significant factor in improving performance. However, the potential conflicts between multiple goals have not been explored. Our research aims to examine whether setting multiple goals towards different tasks at the same time will minimize the original effects of promoting people’s performance in a money-incentivized environment. An RCT lab experiment with four groups was carried out, and the results showed that setting a single goal is effective in improving the performance of the slider task, but not the encryption task. Setting two goals at the same time did not reduce the positive effects of single goal-setting.
