What are the similarities and differences of these two theories?

Simm:
- Both aim to motivate
- Both encourage recognition and feedback (Locke's is with reviewing of the goals and making amendments and with Maslow its in the self-esteem stage where employees are recognised, e.g merit & performance review

Diff:
- Hierarchical structure vs goal setting theory
- Locke's is more dependent on the employee actually achieving the goal where as Maslow's is highly dependent on the manager, as they are the ones supplying the salary.. working conditions.. job security.. merits..

Afaik it'd be the exact same! Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong though.
