Does "produce results" mean "produce good results"?

Job interview:

Question: by the interviewer: If we make an offer, how long do you plan to stay with our company?

Interviewee: As long as I produce results and contribute to the company, I hope I'll be considered a valuable employee. And as long as I'm making contributions that are valued and I continue to learn and grow, I'll have no reason to leave.

(1) Does "produce results" make sense? I suspect it's a language interference, since we have "kekka wo dasu" (literally "produce results") in Japanese. Is it the same as "produce good results"?

(2) Should we omit the red "I"?

produce results is ok. It's meaning is taken as good results.

You can't omit the I as otherwise it will sound as though the contributions will continue to learn and grow.
