Abstract
The aim of this research was to understand why some people successfully achieve goals where others fail in achieving goals, when confronted with setbacks in the workplace. To better understand this we examined the influence of growth and fixed PSAM in dealing with setbacks in a professional setting. Additionally, the moderating role of the trait self-compassion has been examined to determine if it buffers the effect of setbacks. For this research an online questionnaire was used to collect data, which involved manipulation vignettes and experimental tasks and was filled in by 98 working adults. Expected was that primed growth mindset employees have higher success expectations opposed to fixed mindset employees by using more self-compassion, when confronted with setbacks in a professional setting. Results showed that the relationship between PSAM and self-efficacy did not differ depending on participants’ level of self-compassion.
