Goal orientation refers to the goals individuals implicitly pursue while attempting to attain certain performance outcomes (Dweck & Leggett, 1988). In general, goal orientation has been conceptualized as the mental framework in which people interpret and respond to situations, circumstances and events of both achievement and failure. The data for this study was collected through survey method. Executives with more than 45 years of age have higher performance-approach and performance-avoidance. Further details were discussed in this paper.
