This paper focuses on explaining how individuals set goals on multiple performance episodes, in the context of performance feedback comparing their performance on each episode with their respective goal. The proposed model was tested through a longitudinal study of 493 university students’ actual goals and performance on business school exams. Results of a structural equation model supported the proposed conceptual model in which self-efficacy and emotional reactions to feedback mediate the relationship between feedback and subsequent goals. In addition, as expected, participants’ standing on a dispositional measure of behavioral inhibition influenced the strength of their emotional reactions to negative feedback.

This research documents systematic gender performance differences (GPD) at a top business school using a unique administrative dataset and survey of students. The findings show that women’s grades are 11% of a standard deviation lower in quantitative courses than those of men with similar academic aptitude and demographics, and men’s grades are 23% of a standard deviation lower in nonquantitative courses than those of comparable women. The authors discuss and test for different reasons for this finding. They show that a female instructor significantly cuts down GPD for quantitative courses by raising the grades of women. In addition, female instructors increase women’s interest and performance expectations in these courses and are perceived as role models by their female students. These results provide support for a gender stereotype process for GPD and show that faculty can serve as powerful exemplars to challenge gender stereotypes and increase student achievement. The authors discuss several important implications of these findings for business schools and for society.

Sustainability and sustainable development have become a crucial keyword in today’s environment. It is now being felt that incorporation of sustainable practices should not be followed only by different sectors (public or private) but these concepts should also be taught at business schools to embed the concepts of sustainable practices right from the very beginning. There are 37 learning approaches identified on the basis of Principles for Responsible Management Education (PRME), which forms the core of the work presented in this study. To implement the proposed analysis, responses were collected from the students of a top public management institute of India on the basis of importance and performance parameters of the learning approaches for sustainability. The responses were than analysed through importance-performance analysis (IPA). It was observed that most effective learning approaches for learning the concepts of sustainability issues include case studies, lectures by experts, internships on sustainability etc. Students also perceived the significance of sustainability in business management and also showed preference to work with those companies, which actually holds sustainability as a core value.
