“…Having quality control over oneself is followed by a strong desire to compete. On the same lines, goal orientation was found to predict emotional control and social competence among employees (Porath& Bateman, 2006). Identical conclusions have been observed amongst sports players in this study.…”

“…It is argued for example that goals orientations very likely increase cognitive abilities of individuals, which positively affects their learning and performance. Moreover, achieving goals orientations incites employees to aspire to accomplish difficult or uncertain tasks, which eventually helps them to maintain high standards of performance (Porath & Bateman, 2006). The organizational leaders encourage the efficacies of such employees who aspire to have effective goals orientation and there has been a positive link between the performance and goals orientation of the employee (Janssen & Van-Yperen, 2004).…”

This research aims to assess direct and indirect influences of organizational culture on job performance, as well as to evaluate the impact of each sub-element of organizational culture on such performance. It is argued that employees performance derives, on the one hand, from a long-term perspective related to changes that organizations manage and implement during their process of growth. A second dimension of organizational culture can be given through organizational values, routines and distinctive aspects of culture that allow organizations to create solid competitive advantages. Since most studies in this field were held in Western work cultures, this paper will be devoted to the analysis of this relationship within an Arabic cultural environment and more specifically within a Saudi context. A quantitative study tool, based on a comprehensive research questionnaire, was used and the sample was selected from various government departments being operative in Alkharj. The findings indicate a positive relationship between organizational culture and job performance. Likewise, four organizational culture sub-elements, namely Managing Change, Achieving Goals, Coordinating Teamwork and Cultural Strength, were found affecting positively on job performance, but with varying and distinct intensity. Only Customer Orientation was found negatively associated with job performance.

“…Achievement goals help to determine the individuals' view to achievement situations either at work, on the sports field, or in the classroom (Van Yperen, 2006) (Porath, & Bateman, 2006). In this study perception of task performance is individual-level behaviour focused directly or in support of task accomplishment (LePine et al, 2000).…”

With the increasing popularity of positive psychology movement in the literature, optimism has attracted many researchers from a various field; however, career optimism has rarely been indicated in the organizational behaviour and human resource management literature. Career optimism, as a part of career planning attitude, is an important factor for career decision making which is a complex process. Indeed, we know little about what career optimism is, its antecedents and consequence in career decision making process among university students. In this study, we empirically demonstrated the relationship among emotional support, task performance, exhaustion at schoolwork and career optimism. By investigating 324 university students (age between 18 and 21) in Turkey, we found that parental emotional support and perceived task performance influences career optimism positively. We also found that exhaustion at schoolwork does not have a significant effect on career optimism. In this regard, theoretical and managerial implications of the study findings are discussed.
