The motivation behind online consumption behavior is different from that of online social behavior, and research is lacking regarding the impact of identification on e-commerce consumption. The current research examines the influence of identification, which is perceived anonymity, and intrinsic motivation on the continuous purchasing behaviors on retailing e-commerce websites based on self-determination theory. The mediating role of intrinsic motivation was also empirically tested from a sample of 661 frequent consumers using the partial least squares approach. The findings were: (1) Identification negatively influences perceived anonymity, and its low, but significantly positive, influence on continuous e-commerce consumption were totally mediated by perceived competence, perceived autonomy, and perceived relatedness. (2) Perceived anonymity positively influences self-determination factors, which has partly mediating impact between perceived anonymity and continuous consumption. (3) The authenticity and concealment of identity are based on different mechanisms, but both of them are conducive to promoting continuous purchases. On retailing e-commerce websites, customers’ identity management should consider both identification in the background and anonymity perception in the service, and the contributions of the service to promote consumers’ perceived competence and perceived autonomy are important in continuous consumption.

Nghiên cứu được tiến hành dựa trên lý thuyết tự quyết nhằm tìm hiểu về mối liên hệ giữa sự thỏa mãn các nhu cầu tâm lý cơ bản, động lực học tập, và trì hoãn trong học tập ở sinh viên. Mẫu nghiên cứu là mẫu thuận tiện với 341 sinh viên có độ tuổi trong khoảng từ 19 đến 26. Trong đó, nam chiếm 11.7% và nữ chiếm 88.3%. Mức độ thỏa mãn các nhu cầu tâm lý cơ bản, các loại động lực học tập, và mức độ trì hoãn trong học tập được đo lường bởi các thang đo. Kết quả phân tích tương quan cho thấy trì hoãn trong học tập có tương quan nghịch chiều với các loại động lực học tập tự chủ và mức độ thỏa mãn các nhu cầu tâm lý cơ bản. Phân tích đường dẫn cho thấy sự thỏa mãn nhu cầu gắn kết và nhu cầu tự chủ góp phần làm tăng sự thỏa mãn nhu cầu năng lực, qua đó làm giảm tình trạng thiếu động lực học tập đồng thời làm tăng động lực hướng đến thành tựu, và dẫn tới mức độ trì hoãn học tập thấp hơn. Các kết quả nghiên cứu ửng hộ giả thuyết của lý thuyết tự quyết về vai trò của việc đáp ứng các nhu cầu tâm lý cơ bản nhằm thúc đẩy động lực bên trong. [The study was conducted based on the self-determination theory to examine the relationships between the satisfaction of basic psychological needs, academic motivation, and academic procrastination among students. The sample was a convenient ?one with 341 students aged between 19 and 26. In particular, males accounted for 11.7% and females accounted for 88.3%. The level of satisfaction of basic psychological needs, the types of academic motivation, and the level of academic procrastination were measured by several scales. The results of correlation analysis showed that the academic procrastination was negatively correlated with autonomous academic motivations and the level of the satisfaction of basic psychological needs. Path analysis showed that the satisfaction of relatedness and autonomy needs contributed to the satisfaction of competence need, thereby reducing amotivation and increasing intrinsic motivation towards achievement which lead to lower levels of academic procrastination. The findings supported the hypothesis of self-determination theory about the role of meeting basic psychological needs in order to promote intrinsic motivation.]

Mathematics until today is still considered a difficult subject so that it needs to think about appropriate strategies to encourage students to be able to regulate themselves in learning this subject. This study aimed to test empirically the role of classroom management and mastery goal orientation towards self-regulated learning. The participants of the study were 177 students of state high schools in Sleman, who were selected using a purposive sampling technique. The scales used were self-regulation of mathematics learning scale, classroom management scale, and mastery goal orientation scale. The data analysis using two-predictor regression analysis showed that classroom management and mastery goal simultaneously played a significant role by 68.7% (R2=0.687, F (2.177) =191.243, p<0.01). Classroom management predicted self-regulation (β= -0.130, p < 0.01), and so did mastery goal (β= 0.878, p < 0.01). Based on the results of this study, it could be concluded that self-regulation in learning Mathematics can be determined through classroom manage­ment and mastery goals concurrently.

Despite heavy investments in knowledge management systems, people are often reluctant to share their knowledge, with knowledge hoarding being one of the largest obstacles to effective knowledge management in organizations. This paper proposes a model that examines the role of intrinsic motivation in knowledge sharing. Bringing together insights from motivational research, Self-Determination Theory and the Theory of Reasoned Action, the study investigates the links between intrinsic motivators and knowledge sharing. Survey data collected from knowledge workers are analyzed using partial least squares. The results show self-efficacy, meaningfulness and impact are important motivators of attitude towards knowledge sharing, which in turn impacts intention to share knowledge. The findings provide insights into employee motivations to share knowledge, and strategies for enhancing knowledge sharing in organizations.

Resumen: En este trabajo se describe el discurso motivacional de diez profesores de Educación Primaria durante la resolución de un problema de matemáticas en el aula. En concreto, se analizó: 1) Qué estados motivacionales fueron atendidos a lo largo de la interacción (e.g. motivación intrínseca, creencias de eficacia personal, orientación de meta de maestría…); 2) De qué modo fueron facilitados (e.g. la motivación intrínseca mediante el planteamiento de desafíos); y 3) Si el discurso motivacional apareció a lo largo de los tres momentos en que es posible su observación (pre-decisional, postdecisional y post-acción). Los resultados indican que los esfuerzos de los profesores se concentraron en un espacio post-decisional (dedicado a la realización de la actividad) y que los estados preferentemente atendidos fueron la motivación intrínseca y las creencias de competencia. El modo en que estos estados fueron facilitados, así como el momento de la interacción en que esto sucedió, revelan que el discurso motivacional de los profesores, a pesar de apoyar y sostener en cierto modo el afrontamiento de la tarea, se dirigió a facilitar la persistencia y el esfuerzo para acometer y resolver el problema. En ningún caso, se facilitó la percepción de la tarea como intrínsecamente motivante, ni las creencias de eficacia personal ligadas al uso de estrategias de aprendizaje, ni la búsqueda del logro desde la maestría o el aprendizaje. Todos ellos, elementos clave para el aprendizaje y el logro. Las implicaciones, tanto teóricas como educativas de estos resultados son discutidos al final del trabajo. Analysis Motivational Discourse in solving mathematical problems in the classroom Abstract: In this paper is described the motivational discourse of ten Primary Education teachers during mathematical problems solving within the classroom. Specifically, it was analysed: 1) Which type of motivational states were taken care of during the interactions (e.g. intrinsic motivation, selfefficacy beliefs, mastery-goal orientation...); 2) In which way they were assisted (e.g. intrinsic motivation by the approach of challenges.); and 3) whether the motivational discourse appeared throughout the three possible moments (pre-decisional, post-decisional and post-action). Results show that teachers concentrated their efforts on the post-decisional phase (dedicated to perform an activity) and that intrinsic motivational and competence beliefs were the states preferably attend to. The way in which they were provided, as well as the moment where this happened, show that the motivational discourse of teachers, even though it supported somehow the task coping, was mainly focused on the support of persistency and effort in order to solve the problem. Under no circumstances, the task was eased as intrinsically motivating, neither self- efficacy beliefs linked to learning skills, nor the pursuit of achievements from a mastery-goal approach. The implications, both theoretical and educational of these results are discussed at the end of this paper.

This paper explores the role of games in learning. Beginning with some carefully selected definitions of games, comparisons are drawn between the fields of games design and of learning and teaching, highlighting a parallel between games as designed experiences, and teaching as designed learning experiences. Games are seen as being highly engaging, which has led to a rise in the fields of Game Based Learning and Gamification. Ultimately when designing games, game based learning, gamified experiences or learning experiences engagement is a key factor. This leads to the study of human psychology and motivation including concepts of extrinsic versus intrinsic motivation (Pink, 2011), self-determination theory (Rigby & Ryan, 2010) and flow (Csikszentmihalyi, 1990).Keywords: Engagement, Motivation, Game Design
