The purpose of this study was to respond to the call for research on goal orientation (mastery and performance orientation) profiles in work contexts. Among 8,282 engineers and technologists, Latent profile analyses indicated that four different goal orientation profiles existed - primarily mastery oriented, indifferent, moderate multiple goals, and success oriented. Both success oriented employees and employees who are primarily mastery oriented indicated the highest individual work performance. Further, mastery and performance climates were found to be relevant antecedents of employees' goal orientation profiles. Supplementary analyses suggested that a primarily mastery oriented profile seems to be more beneficial for the facilitation of employee well-being. The practical implications of these findings and directions for future research are presented.
本研究的目的是响应在工作环境中对目标导向（掌握导向和成绩导向）概况进行研究的呼吁。在8282名工程师和技术专家中，潜在概况分析表明存在四种不同的目标导向概况——主要是掌握导向、漠不关心、适度多目标和成功导向。成功导向的员工和主要是掌握导向的员工都表现出最高的个人工作绩效。此外，发现掌握氛围和成绩氛围是员工目标导向概况的相关前因。补充分析表明，主要是掌握导向的概况似乎对促进员工幸福感更有益。本文呈现了这些发现的实际意义以及未来研究的方向。
