The Role of Goal Orientation Following Performance Feedback

VandeWalle, Don, Cron, William L., Slocum, John W.·2001·Journal of Applied Psychology

Abstract

This study examined the relationship of goal orientation and performance over a series of 2 challenging performance events. After providing performance feedback on the 1st event, the authors found that the relationship between a learning goal orientation and performance remained positive for the 2nd event, the relationship between a proving goal orientation and performance diminished from a positive to a nonsignificant level, and the relationship between an avoiding goal orientation and performance remained negative. Data analysis also indicated that the relationships between the 3 goal orientation dimensions and the performance event were differentially mediated by goal setting, self-efficacy, and effort.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • VandeWalle et al. (2001) found that an initially positive relationship between performance-approach goal orientation and performance decreased when undergraduate students received performance feedback; there was no change in relationships between mastery-goal orientation and performance-avoidant orientation and performance.

    “For example, an initially positive relationship between performance-approach goal orientation and performance decreased when undergraduate students received performance feedback; there was no change in relationships between mastery-goal orientation and performance-avoidant orientation and performance (VandeWalle et al., 2001).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
