Abstract
This study intended to find the impact of achievement orientation types on intrinsic motivation and quality performance of millennials employees at Electronic Health Solution (EHS), Mawdoo3.com, Amman Drug and Trading Company Ltd (ADATCO), and Zein Group (ZGT). Furthermore, the study will analyze mastery goal-focused orientation and performance goal-focused orientation as two independent forms of achievement orientation mentalities or, alternatively, as two opposite poles of a continuum ranging from a poor (performance-focused) to a good (mastery-focused) forms of achievement orientations. 102 experts from millennium ages (23-38), were deployed in building the survey that is going to be shared and filled up by our targeted sample, in order to classify their own achievement orientation and measure its impact on their Intrinsic Motivation (IM) and performance at their current jobs. Zero-order correlations and Hierarchical multiple regression were used in assessing data, measuring results, and results interpretations. Results supported the positive Impact of Mastery Orientation goal on employees achievements as it was associated to higher intrinsic motivation and performance, a negative relationship emerged between avoidance goal orientations and employee’s intrinsic motivation and quality performance, and more negative with mastery avoidance goal
