The purpose of the current research was to determine whether goal-setting as motivational work theory
influences productivity and the productivity measurement and enhancement system (ProMES) as a
human resource intervention that provides feedback improves productivity in an Angolan female
handball team after the implementation. Motivation and productivity are important to the success of a
sports organisation. Goal-setting theory was formulated on the premise that conscious goals affect
action. The ProMES approach offers a method for measuring action results, in other words team
productivity, which takes this feature of typical team settings into account. Each participant completed a
questionnaire toolkit and the results showed that when athletes are task oriented and collectivist they
believe in goal-setting and productivity improves. The ProMES process itself, with its participative
aspects and process of role clarifying and expectations can successfully be used within the sports
industry. This research also reaffirms the relationship between motivation and productivity. / Business Management / M. Admin. (Business Management)
