There are two positive behavior types that occur in an organization that encompass an individual’s job performance: task performance behavior and citizenship behavior. Task performance can be defined as the effectiveness in which individual perform activities that contribute to organization’s technical process, whereas, citizenship behavior is voluntary employee activities that contribute to the organization by improving the overall quality of the work setting.

After I did the assessment, I have learned that I am above average in learning orientation and performance-proved orientation and below average for performance-avoid orientation.

This example shows a mixture of the learning orientation and performance-proved orientation. The outcome of the assessment demonstrates the need for the manager and leader to have learning orientation with or without performance-proved orientation because when having a learning orientation, the person will make the best decision to challenge himself and others to produce a more creative, efficient product. I can improve my weakness of avoid-performance orientation by tackle challenges rather than back down and having the mentality to learn rather to avoid facing criticism for my performance. Only through practice will I improve. The most important thing to do now is to look at a decision dilemma with learning orientation. I will make a chart with pros and cons of each decision and make a decision that will challenge me the most but also
