Individual performance is of high relevance
for organizations and individuals alike. Showing
high performance when accomplishing
tasks results in satisfaction, feelings of selfefficacy
and mastery (Bandura, 1997; Kanfer
et aL, 2005). Moreover, high performing
individuals get promoted, awarded and honored.
Career opportunities for individuals who
perform well are much better than those of
moderate or low performing individuals (Van
Scotter et aI., 2000).
