Set of behaviours
− &or"s %ith others %ithin and outside the unitin a manner that improve their effectiveness
− Shares information and resources

Determinants of Performance &hat causes some people to perform better than others)
&hy some people perform at a certain level)− Performance = Declarative knowledge X Procedural
Knowledge X Motivation
Declarative *no%ledge: information about facts principles goals
things about given tas" re(uirements. Procedural *no%ledge: combination of %hat to do and ho% to do it
include cognitive perceptual motor and interpersonal s"ills.
Motivation: include + types of behaviour
− $hoice to perform ,e#pend the efforts-- / %ill %or" today01
− evel of efforts ,/ %ill put my best efforts at %or" v3s %illnot try hard1

Result 'pproach 8ocus on result and do not consider traits or behaviour of

− 6ery effective: meet all ob5ectives of the 5obe#ceeds re(uired standards and performs
consistently beyond normal e#pectations.− Basic: ' contribution that indicates that there is
