“…Thus, employees' work achievements are more independent of one another, and therefore the attainment of rewards is equal across employees (Dragoni, 2005). The work process is viewed more in light of a process of learning or achieving mastery compared with what the employee has accomplished in the past (Ames, 1984).…”

This study explored the relationship between obsessive passion for work and incivility instigations, as well as the moderating role of a mastery motivational climate. A longitudinal, three-wave study was conducted among 1,263 employees from a large Norwegian workers' union across a 10-month time span. The results show that obsessive passion for work relates positively to incivility instigations and that this relationship is stable over time. Building on the person-environment fit perspective, we find that the relationship between obsessive passion for work and incivility instigations is stronger for employees with both high levels of obsessive passion and high perceptions of a mastery climate. Our results underline the importance of considering not only the individual in his/her context, but also of considering the match between the individual's values and the contextual values.

“…For example, people may become more learning oriented when they confront the need to undertake challenging tasks or when they are encouraged by others to question their current knowledge set (e.g. Ames and Archer, 1988;Dragoni, 2005). Thus, a person's learning orientation, although exhibiting many of the qualities of a trait, is still a somewhat malleable individual characteristic (Button et al, 1996;Maurer et al, 2003, Van Hooft & Noordzij, 2009).…”

To extend understanding of the drivers that underlie entrepreneurial intention formation, we investigate the hitherto underexplored roles of people's learning orientation and passion for work. We consider how these personal characteristics may moderate the instrumentality of (1) people's perceived ability to become a successful entrepreneur and (2) their perceived attractiveness of becoming an entrepreneur. Using a survey of 946 university students, we find that learning orientation and passion for work invigorate the role of these feasibility and desirability considerations in enhancing entrepreneurial intention. A follow-up analysis also reveals that the moderating effects of learning orientation and passion for work on the perceived attractiveness-entrepreneurial intention relationship are stronger to the extent that people value the intrinsic goal of autonomy in their future career more greatly, but these moderating effects are immune for the importance of the extrinsic goal of earning financial rewards. Several implications for research and practice emerge.

“…This effect has already been theorized, but has never been actually tested. Dragoni [83] hypothesized that a leader's achievement pattern orientation shapes followers' state-GO through the med iation of team climate. Specifically, the author argues that when leaders display an ability-oriented achievement pattern orientation, followers feel encouraged to develop their proving goal orientation.…”

Admiration is the other-praising emotion elicited by the display of outstanding skills, talents, or achievements.Most leadership theories state that effective leaders are ad mired role models that fo llo wers emu late. Nevertheless, no demonstration has been provided so far about the actual role of ad miration in the leader-follower relationship. This paper shows that leaders who display technical and managerial co mpetences motivate employees by means of the positive emotion of admiration they elicit. Specifically, we hypothesized and demonstrated that admirat ion elicited in employees by their leader's skills increases both their goal orientation to prove and imp rove their own skills and their contextual performance. In a first field experiment on 137 sales representatives we observed an indirect positive relationship between leader's skills and followers' state-goal orientations. Admiration mediated the positive effect o f leader's skills on emp loyees' motivation. In this study, we also observed a direct and detrimental impact of leaders' skills on employees learn ing and proving goal orientations. In a second, cross-sectional, study on 146 full-t ime teachers we observed that admiration -co mpared with happiness and gratitude-is the best predictor of state-learning-goal orientation and organizat ional citizenship behaviors. Implications and limits are d iscussed.
