摘　　要：Purpose:Goal Setting Theory(GST)created by Edwin Locke and Gary Latham has proven to be an incredibly versatile theory.Its widespread utilization has proven it to be a valuable theory to further explore and understand.The purpose of this paper is to examine current approaches to and practices of GST.Methodology:This systematic literature review is based on 12 recent articles using GST and examining their collective findings.The articles were a mix of theory description,quantitative experiments,empirical experiments,and literature review.Findings:Most of the reviewed literature agreed that further and more defined research would be greatly beneficial for future applications of this theory.Given the broad nature of this theory,a more defined approach would likely prove useful for future utilization.Value:Exploring the multitude of ways this theory has already been applied gives an understanding of shortcomings as well as successes.Reviewing the current available literature allows GST to be utilized in a more precise way in the future.
