Abstract
  • This thesis objective is to examine the relationship between individuals' goal orientations (learning-prove, learning-avoid, performance-prove, and performance-avoid) and the extent to which they provide knowledge. Included in this document is a review of literature pertaining to knowledge sharing and goal orientations. The author surveyed 64 College of Pharmacy students at Oregon State University and used correlation analysis and ordinary least squares (OLS) regression analysis to test the hypothesized relationships. The results indicated a significant relationship between learning-prove goal orientation and the providing of knowledge perceived as novel. But, the relationships between the remaining goal orientations and the providing of knowledge perceived as novel are not significant.
