This study investigates whether four types of achievement goals-mastery-approach, mastery-avoidance, performance-approach, and performance-avoidance-influence effort and intrinsic interest at work. Cross-lagged panel analyses were applied to data from a two-wave survey conducted on 57 newly hired Japanese police officers. The results showed that performance-approach goals had significant positive influences on effort and intrinsic interest. In contrast, performance-avoidance goals had significant negative impacts on the abovementioned two outcome variables. Longitudinal effects were observed when the influence of competence expectancy was controlled. These results highlight the benefits of performance-approach goals and the costs associated with performance-avoidance goals in the workplace.
本研究调查了四种成就目标——掌握趋近目标、掌握回避目标、成绩趋近目标和成绩回避目标——是否会影响工作中的努力程度和内在兴趣。对57名新入职的日本警察进行的两波调查数据进行了交叉滞后面板分析。结果表明,成绩趋近目标对努力程度和内在兴趣有显著的积极影响。相比之下,成绩回避目标对上述两个结果变量有显著的负面影响。在控制了能力期望的影响后观察到了纵向效应。这些结果凸显了成绩趋近目标在工作场所的益处以及与成绩回避目标相关的成本。
