Abstract

The major premise of recent research was to analyze the role of growth mindset as a precursor of goal attainment and the well-being of professionals.

The study also delineated the moderating role of grit, as employees with growth mindsets who are high in grit have more learning agility, which leads to their increased growth attainment and well-being. Once individuals observe a model perform a behavior and experience the result of that behavior, they remember the order of events and apply this knowledge to direct future behaviors. Researchers have collected data from 380 professionals working in the service sector of Pakistan.
