With the use of a repeated-measurement design over a five-year period, this study examined the extent to which goal orientation and learning self-efficacy relate to job performance in a post-acquisition corporate context. Results suggest that a learning goal orientation and self-efficacy beliefs reg

Abstract
A field experiment of ninety‐six employees tested a model of the relationships among dispositional
learning orientation, self‐efficacy, goal orientation context, and declarative knowledge. Specifically, the
model predicted positive influences of task‐specific self‐efficacy (pre‐ and
mid‐training) and declarative knowledge in the relationship between learning orientation and
posttraining self‐efficacy. In addition, the model included a positive path from goal orientation context
(0 = performance; 1 = learning) to posttraining self‐efficacy. Finally, the
model included the interactive effect of learning orientation and goal orientation context on posttraining
self‐efficacy. The setting was an introductory Microsoft Access 97 software training course. But for three,
the hypotheses were supported, including the hypothesized interaction effect. Tests of three alternative models
showed poorer fits to the data than the hypothesized model.

The study of animal cognition has been largely confined to birds and mammals; a historical bias which has led to the belief that learning plays little or no part in the development of behaviour in fishes and reptiles. Research in recent decades has begun to redress this misconception and it is now r
