Achievement Goal Theory (Dweck, 1986) proposes that individuals engage in behaviour with a competence-specific purpose. This purpose, an achievement orientation, thus describes the pattern of cognition and action that results from pursuing various goals (DeShon and Gillespie, 2005). These orientations have been theorised to reflect dispositional, trait-like motivational characteristics (Nicholls et al., 1989) that are distinct from basic personality traits (Payne, Youngcourt and Beaubien, 2007).
