The author examined the predictive validity of goal orientation in teams on both team process and outcome variables. Results indicate that when mean goal orientation scores were used as a way of describing team members' inputs, learning orientation Was related to backing up behavior, efficacy, and commitment. The:relationships between performance orientation and efficacy and commitment, however, Were more-complex and were clarified:when task performance was also taken into account. Performance orientation had a negative effect on efficacy. When task performance was,low, and a positive effect on commitment when task performance was high. The implications of these findings for theory and research on goal orientation in teams and team staffing bare discussed.
