Human beings are goal-directed, mental model is thus dictated by his/her goals inescapably. This study designed an experiment to examine the effects of two kinds of goals on learning in a "growth and underinvestment" archetype management flight simulator task. One kink of goal was total assesr, a wholesystem and long-term goal, the other was order growth, a subsystem and short-term goal. The results indicated that when the goal was assigned with the attainments of order growth, subjects pay more attention on order growth and allocate more resources on hiring to push the reinforce growth loop and apt to ignore the effects of balance loops. As a result, underinvestment behavior occurred and incorrect mental model and poor performance resulted. Given the findings, wholesystems and short-term goals settings were suggested here to facilitate learning in a learning laboratory.
