There are a number of measures. Perhaps the most widely used and easily available is the Patterns of Adaptive Learning Scales (PALS). If you google PALS and University of Michigan, you'll find a site that will provide information, the scales, psychometric properties, and articles.

Hello Felicitas,

I've worked with the Goal Orientation Scale of VandeWalle (1997), both with employees and student.

In VandeWalle, Don; Cron, William L.; Slocum Jr., John W. The role of goal orientation following performance feedback. Journal of Applied Psychology, 86(4), 629-640), they have used the scale with undergraduates students.

Best, Isabella

Hello Felicitas Bauer,

For students’ achievement goals I usually use the Pattern of Adaptive Learning Scales (i.e., PALS; Midgley et al., 2000), a well-known instrument that had been repeatedly validated (and was mentioned is previous responses). Another commonly used measure is the Achievement Goal Questionnaire – Revised (AGQ-R; Elliot & Murayama, 2008). The full versions of both are available online.

For employees’ achievement goals measure I know a paper by Janssen and Van Yperen (2004) that includes the full scale, but I have never used it myself.
