was benchmarked recording patches to the Linux kernel tree at the rate of

6.7 per second


Group cohesiveness - Cohesion and Performance

1 In regards to group productivity, having attraction and group pride

may not be enough. It is necessary to have task commitment in order to be productive. Furthermore, groups with

high performance goals were extremely productive.


Perl - Optimizing

1 Like any code, Perl programs can be tuned for performance using

benchmarks and profiles after a readable and correct implementation is finished. In part because of Perl's interpreted nature, writing more-efficient Perl will not always be

enough to meet one's performance goals for a program.


Goal-oriented - Student achievement

1 Dweck's research resulted in what is considered the most common description of

goal orientation: 1) a learning goal orientation in which individuals approach learning to gain and assume mastery of knowledge, skills, and behaviors; or 2) a performance goal orientation in which individuals are driven to perform at a

desired degree in order to achieve positive judgments or avoid unfavorable judgments.


Goal-oriented - Manipulations of goal orientation

1 In these cases, the provided mastery versus performance goals led to associated learning-oriented or

competence demonstration performance


Network switch - Typical switch management features

1 VLAN settings. Creating VLANs can serve security and performance goals by reducing the size of the

broadcast domain


Software performance testing - Setting performance goals

1 Many performance tests are undertaken without due consideration to the setting of

realistic performance goals. The first question from a business perspective

should always be "why are we performance testing?". These considerations are part of

the business case of the testing. Performance goals will differ depending on

the system's technology and purpose however they should always include some

of the following:https://store.theartofservice.com/the-performance-goal-toolkit.html

1 Especially in the early stages of training, it would be more beneficial to instruct employees on outcome goals than on performance goals


Performance appraisal - Human resource management performance management

1 The achievement of these organizational performance goals

depends on the performance of the individual organizational members


National Missile Defense - Technical criticism

1 In April 2004, a General Accounting Office report concluded that “MDA does not explain some critical assumptions—such as an enemy’s type and number

of decoys—underlying its performance goals.” It recommended that “DOD carry out independent, operationally realistic testing of each block being

fielded” but DOD responded that “formal operational testing is not required before entry into

full-rate production.”General Accounting Office report GAO-04-409 [

Personnel psychology - Feedback

1 Feedback has been defined as any response from the environment that helps to influence future actions, information that follows task performance, or information from others in the social world, whether it be approval or disapproval. A positive feedback culture is

one in which individuals not only receive and solicit feedback for job performance

improvement, but also use both formal and informal feedback as means to accomplish

performance goals.


Process improvement - Overview

1 Crosby|Philip Crosby later incorporated it into his Absolutes of

Quality Management and it enjoyed a renaissance in the American automobile industry—as a

performance goal more than as a program—in the 1990s


Cryptographic engineering - Active opposition

1 Cryptographic designs also have performance goals (e.g.,

unbreakability of encryption), but must perform in a more complex,

and more complexly hostile, environment than merely high (but

not too low) in the Earth's atmosphere under war conditions.


Orchestration (computing)

1 In this context, and with the overall aim to achieve specific goals and objectives (described

through Quality of Service parameters), e.g., meet application performance goals using minimized

cost and maximize application performance within budget constraints, cloud management solutions

also encompass frameworks for workflow mapping and management.An innovative workflow

Goal orientation - Early conceptualizations

1 Individuals with a performance goal orientation seek to demonstrate and

validate the adequacy of their competence in order to receive favorable judgments and avoid

negative judgments


Goal orientation - Early conceptualizations

1 This led to the conceptualization of two separate continuums, one for

learning goal orientation and one for performance goal orientation.Eison, J


Goal orientation - Recent conceptualizations

1 Just over a decade after Dweck conceptualized the two-factor model

of goal orientation, VandeWalle proposed that goal orientation is better conceptualized as a three-

factor model, further dividing performance goal orientation into the dimensions of avoidant performance goal orientation (APGO) and prove

performance goal orientation (PPGO)https://store.theartofservice.com/the-performance-goal-toolkit.html

Goal orientation - Types

1 Since the realization that performance goal orientation is best

split into two separate parts, researchers have conducted

validation studies to demonstrate the statistical and conceptual distinction

of these three dimensions to goal orientation


Goal orientation - Learning

1 When designing learning environments for students, it is

important to create opportunities that promote learning goals as opposed to performance goals


Goal orientation - Learning-approach and learning-avoidance

1 Although learning goal orientation is most commonly conceptualized as a single construct, researchers have begun to make the approach and

avoidance distinction that they have previously done with the

performance goal orientation


Goal orientation - Cognitive ability

1 Accordingly, individuals with high cognitive ability are equally likely to hold learning, prove performance,

and avoid performance goal orientations


Goal orientation - Goal setting and goal orientation

1 However, the vast majority of goal setting studies have been conducted with a specific performance goal and

often in laboratory settings where the task was fairly simple


Goal orientation - Goal setting and goal orientation

1 found that when MBA students set specific, difficult learning goals such

as mastering complex course material, they outperformed MBA

students who set a performance goal for GPA


Goal orientation - Feedback seeking and interpretation

1 Consequently, individuals with high levels of learning goal orientation are

more inclined to seek feedback, while individuals with high levels of prove performance goal orientation

or avoid performance goal orientation are less inclined to seek feedback (VandeWalle Cummings,

1997).


Goal orientation - Organizational outcomes

1 In another study by VandeWalle, Cron Slocum, the authors found that

individuals with a learning goal orientation had higher sales performance than those with

performance goal orientations


Goal orientation - Learning environments

1 Lastly, it is very important to look at the environment in which learning takes place. The teacher wants to

create an environment that nurtures a learning goal orientation as

opposed to a performance goal orientation. This means encouraging

a community of learners who are willing to take risks and make

mistakes for the sake of learning.https://store.theartofservice.com/the-performance-goal-toolkit.html

Goal-oriented - Student achievement

1 Dweck's research resulted in what is considered the most common description of

goal orientation: 1) a learning goal orientation in which individuals approach learning to gain and assume mastery of knowledge, skills, and behaviors; or 2) a performance goal orientation in which

individuals are driven to perform at a desired degree in order to achieve positive

judgments or avoid unfavorable judgments.Dweck Elliot, 1983

concern and respect for subordinates) and initiating structure (assigning tasks and

setting performance goals).Fleishman, E. A., Harris, E. F. (1962). Patterns of leadership

behavior related to employee grievances and turnover. Personnel Psychology, 15, 43-

56.Levy, P. E. (2006). Industrial/organizational psychology: Understanding the workplace.

Goal-setting - Goals and traits

1 Learning goals involve tasks where skills and knowledge can be

acquired, whereas performance goals involve easy-to-accomplish tasks that

will make one appear successful (thus tasks where error and

judgment are possible are avoided).


Intelligence and public policy - Education

PDF] [http://www.udel.edu/educ/gottfredson/reprints/20

05cognitivediversity.pdf PDF] Because the Act includes warnings and funding consequences for schools which do not meet performance goals, whether disparate student performance is due primarily to environment (which is perceived to be under substantial school and teacher control) or to genetics (which is perceived to be far less

malleable) has become a crucial issue.


Nios II - Custom instructions

1 Similar to native Nios II instructions, user-defined instructions accept

values from up to two 32-bit source registers and optionally write back a result to a 32-bit destination register.

By using custom instructions, the system designers can fine-tune the

system hardware to meet performance goals and also the designer can easily handle the

instruction as a macro in C (programming language)|C.
