| Abstract: | An emerging body of research findings from the fields of psychology and management suggests that the concept of goal orientation has important implications for enhancing employee and organizational performance. This report summarizes the research findings and discusses the implications of the findings for effective management of an organization's human resources. The paper provides a substantial list of references on this subject. The purpose of this report is to present the concept of goal orientation and to discuss why recent goal orientation research indicates that the above beliefs can often be counterproductive for cultivating the use of self- management procedures, fostering skill development. |
