Automated inference of goal-oriented performance prediction functions

Proceedings of the 27th IEEE/ACM International Conference on Automated Software Engineering, 2012
Understanding the dependency between performance metrics (such as response time) and software configuration or usage parameters is crucial in improving software quality. However, the size of most modern systems makes it nearly impossible to provide a complete performance model.

The role of goal orientation following performance feedback.

Journal of Applied Psychology, 2001
This study examined the relationship of goal orientation and performance over a series of 2 challenging performance events. After providing performance feedback on the 1st event, the authors found that the relationship between a learning goal orientation and performance remained positive for the 2nd event, the relationship between a proving goal ...

Academic Goal Orientation and Cardiovascular Reactivity in a Performance Situation

Applied Psychophysiology and Biofeedback, 2015
The present study investigated whether students' academic goal orientation (learning goals, performance goals, work avoidance) and their individual competence beliefs (their academic self-concept) can predict motivation-related cardiovascular activation patterns in a demanding performance situation.

Sales Managers’ Learning Orientation, Salespeople Goal Orientation and Overall Organizational Performance

2014
In this study we develop and empirically test a conceptual model of sales management learning orientation, salesperson's goal orientation and sales performance. Focusing on a Greek sales environment we explored the responses of 182 sales managers – salespeople dyads. Our findings demonstrate that learning orientation of sales managers does not directly

Learning and Performance Goal Orientation of Salespeople Revisited: The Role of Performance-Approach and Performance-Avoidance Orientations

Journal of Personal Selling & Sales Management, 2006
This study revisits the conceptualization and operationalization of salesperson goal orientation, a mid-level construct in the achievement motivation model. Goal orientation has, in recent sales studies, been conceptualized to be comprised of a learning and a performance goal orientation.

Goal orientation and goal content as predictors of performance in a training program.

Journal of Applied Psychology, 1999
The antecedents and consequences of content goals for participants in a complex skill-training program were examined in a longitudinal study. Using LISREL 8 to test a mediated model, it was found dispositional goal orientation was related to the content of goals that individuals adopted for the training program.

The relationship between learning goal orientation, goal setting, and performance: a longitudinal study

Journal of Applied Social Psychology, 2013
AbstractIn an educational setting, we examined the relationship of learning goal orientation with goal setting and performance over time. At the first time point, we assessed levels of trait learning goal orientation and asked participants to set performance goals. At each follow‐up time point, we reported to participants their current course grade and

Goal-Oriented Performance Analysis of Reusable Software Components

2006
To establish software reuse successfully in the long run, it is crucial for providers of reusable components to continuously react on problems or future trends arising around their component. In practice, however, many providers of reusable components are not able to do so due to insufficient feedback and details from reusers.

Goal orientations predict academic performance beyond intelligence and personality

Learning and Individual Differences, 2011
Goal orientations are thought to be an important predictor of scholastic achievement. The present paper investigated the joint influence of goal orientations, intelligence, and personality on school performance in a sample of N = 520 11th and 12th graders (303 female; mean age M = 16.94 years).
