Drawing on the self-verification theory, we proposed four hypotheses to explore the main effect as well as interaction effect of utilitarian orientation and long-term orientation on employee in-role performance and extra-role performance. With questionnaires rated by 208 millennial generation employees of three companies in the mainland of China, we examined our hypotheses. The results show that a utilitarian orientation positively predicts in-role performance and extra-role performance, while a long-term orientation significantly moderates the relationship. We further discussed the theoretical and practical implications.
