Abstract

Management by Objectives (MBO) is a strategic management model that aims to improve organizational performance by aligning individual goals with the overall objectives of the company. Originally popularized by Peter Drucker in the mid-20th century, MBO emphasizes measurable outcomes, clear communication, and employee involvement in goal setting. This paper explores the theoretical underpinnings of MBO, its implementation process, benefits, limitations, and evolution in the context of contemporary performance management systems. Using case studies and empirical research, the study examines how a results-driven approach through MBO can enhance accountability, motivation, and organizational effectiveness.
