The analyses of a text.
Gold-setting theory suggests that employees are motivated to achieve goals they and their managers establish together. The goal should be very specific, moderately difficult, and one the employee will be committed to achieve.

I think "to achieve" indicates conditional, and if the author complied with "parallel relationship" that he or she should have written "of being one," not "one."
And I'd like to know if my assumptions are right.
Thank you in advance for your help.
