Learning versus performance goals: when should each be used?
Article Abstract:
A study on the implications of performance or outcome goals on one's performance is presented. In jobs where the acquisition of knowledge and skills is more important than increased effort or persistence, a learning goal should be set rather than a outcome goal. The learning goal draws attention away from results and helps discover strategies or processes to attain desired results.
