Budgeting Question

In the BPP textbook there is a question:

Setting low standards as targets for achievement should motivate employees because they should usually achieve or exceed the target. True/False?

The answer is false.
But i think the answer should either be insufficient information or True. Because if the incentives/ compensation plan is based on achieving that particular target and if the employees are relatively new, they will most certainly find it motivating to achieve a simple target- both to show their performance better and to earn a linear compensation. And if they are seasoned they will still take an easy target as a motive for earning easy bonus.
Either ways it can motivate them to create slack resources where they purposely undermine the target to show better results or ‘take the bath’ to start afresh in the next budgeting cycle.

Please help 🙂
