Abstract
Employees who are oriented toward learning will more readily adapt when a task is not completed successfully, while employees concerned with others' judgment of their performance will withdraw from the task. Prior work in psychology has established the existence of these contrasting tendencies and the individuals' corresponding beliefs about the malleability of personal traits. This study extends this work by bringing it into an organizational context. Subjects' beliefs were measured with surveys and compared to their derisions during an experiment conducted at a different time. The results indicated that the βlearning orientationβ construct may be a useful tool for organizations. Implications are discussed in terms of identifying and developing employees' learning orientations.
