Résumé
The attainment of work role goals is essential for work performance and organizational effectiveness. Failure to achieve their work goals might nonetheless mean more to people than is currently acknowledged in the work performance literature. In this paper, we draw on the concept of goal linking to delineate how work role goals linked to higher-order goals can affect work performance. Specifically, we theorize about how implicit theories of ability guide ruminative thoughts in the context of work role goal non-attainment, as well as how implicit theories influence negative emotions in ways that can affect work role performance. Implications for work performance and implicit theories research, as well as practical implications are discussed.
