Abstrac The self-determination theory proposes a multidimensional concept of motivation and distinguishes how different types of motivation can be promoted or discouraged. For the application of the theory of self-determination to the educational context, this study aimed to adapt and validate the Multidimensional Work Motivation Scale (MWMS) in the educational context. The scale was answered by 419 teachers from 30 schools from the North and Center of Portugal. Factor analysis indicated that the 19-item scale has the same factor structure as that obtained in the original study. In this study, it was possible to identify that the items that constitute the MWMS are good indicators of constructs to be measured in an educational context and the factors are properly individualized. The scale showed five robust dimensions that permit a broad understanding of motivation, similar to the studies of the original scale. The dimension with the best internal consistency is demotivation, while introjected regulation obtained the lowest coefficient.

Εισαγωγή Η θεωρία του Αυτο-Καθορισμού [Self-Determination Theory, (SDT)] (Deci & Ryan, 1985a,2000) προτείνει μία πολυδιάστατη ανάλυση των εργασιακών κινήτρων συνδυάζοντας τόσο εσωτερικούς όσο και εξωτερικούς μηχανισμούς ρύθμισης της συμπεριφοράς. Σκοπός της παρούσας έρευνας ήταν η διερεύνηση των εργασιακών κινήτρων των μαθητών της Γ΄ Λυκείου στην Ελλάδα, καθώς βρίσκονται κοντά στη μετάβαση από το σχολείο στην εργασία. Η ανάλυση έγινε με βάση την SDT μέσω της προσαρμογής στον υπό μελέτη πληθυσμό της κλίμακας Multidimensional Work Motivation Scale-MWMS (Gagné, Forest, Vansteenkiste, Crevier-Braud και Van den Broeck, 2014). Μέθοδος Τα δεδομένα αντλήθηκαν από ένα δείγμα μαθητών ηλικίας 17-18 ετών από ΓΕΛ της Αθήνας (Ν=203, Μ.Ο.=17,58 Τ.Α.=0.50). Μελετήθηκαν οι ψυχομετρικές ιδιότητες της κλίμακας και συγκεκριμένα η παραγοντική δομή και ο βαθμός αξιοπιστίας της. Αποτελέσματα  Πραγματοποιήθηκε επιβεβαιωτική ανάλυση παραγόντων με τους στατιστικούς δείκτες (χ2, GFI, TLI, CFI, RMSEA, SRMR) να μην επιβεβαιώνουν τη δομή της αρχικής κλίμακας των κατασκευαστών αλλά να είναι κοντά στα όρια των επιθυμητών επιπέδων. Η διερευνητική ανάλυση παραγόντων παρουσίασε επίσης διαφοροποιημένη δομή σε σχέση με την αρχική κλίμακα. Συμπεράσματα Τα αποτελέσματα της έρευνας θέτουν τη βάση για περαιτέρω μελέτη των εργασιακών κινήτρων των μαθητών της Γ΄ Λυκείου. Επίσης, εγείρουν ένα σημαντικό ζήτημα αναφορικά με το αν οι Έλληνες μαθητές αυτής της βαθμίδας δίνουν έμφαση σε εξωτερικά κίνητρα υλικών ανταμοιβών για τη μελλοντική τους εργασία μέσα σε ένα πλαίσιο κοινωνικοοικονομικής αβεβαιότητας και πολυπλοκότητας όπως αυτό της ελληνικής κοινωνίας. Η παρούσα έρευνα συνιστά την πρώτη προσπάθεια αξιολόγησης των εργασιακών κινήτρων των μαθητών στην Ελλάδα με βάση την SDT.

Control Construct

Self-determination theory has become a consolidated theoretical framework to deepen the psychological control construct. Numerous studies have widely investigated the consequences of the use of this parenting strategy during the life cycle. Although studies focused on the antecedents of parental psychological control are not so numerous, they provide an interesting picture that needs to be systematized and organized. For this reason, this narra-tive review was aimed at describing the studies on the antecedents of psychological control that used SDT as a theoretical framework. These studies were structured according to three categories: Parental Characteristics (or pressure from within), Child Characteristics (pres-sure from below), and Family Social Environment Characteristics (pressure from above). The results highlighted a wealth of studies in each category and indicating the need to con-tinue this line of studies in the future through the integration of the different types of ante-cedents too.

Purpose Drawing on the self-determination theory, the assemblage theory and customer experience literature, this paper aims to develop a framework to understand motivational customer experiences with chatbots. Design/methodology/approach This paper uses a multimethod approach to examine the interaction between individuals and airlines’ chatbots. Three components of self-determined interaction with the chatbot (competence, autonomy and relatedness) and five components of the customer–chatbot experience (sensory, intellectual, affective, behavioral and social) are analyzed qualitatively and quantitatively. Findings The findings confirm the direct influence of self-determined interaction on customer experience and the direct effects of these two constructs on participants’ attitudes toward and satisfaction with the chatbot. The model also supports the mediating roles of customer experience and attitude toward the chatbot. Practical implications This paper offers managers a broad understanding of individuals’ interactions with chatbots through three elements: motivation to use chatbots, experiential responses and individuals’ valuation of whether the interactions have amplified (or limited) the outcomes obtained from the experience. Originality/value This paper contributes to the hospitality and tourism literature with a hybrid approach that reflects on current theoretical developments regarding human- and interaction-centric interpretations of customer experience with chatbots.

This chapter provides an overview of contemporary research on work motivation. We start by identifying the central premises, controversies, and unanswered questions related to five core theoretical perspectives on work motivation: expectancy theory, equity theory, goal-setting theory, job design, and self-determination theory. We then discuss four current topics and new directions: collective motivation and organizing, temporal dynamics, creativity, and the effects of rewards.

The Relationship

Surface acting—the management of emotional displays as part of a nurse’s work role—is increasingly getting scholars’ attention in organizational behavior. Previous research focused on the relationship between surface acting and outcomes (such as psychological well-being) on the basis of resource-centric theories, ignoring the subjective stance of surface acting provider. According to self-determination theory, surface acting affects an individual’s well-being through stimulating autonomous or controlled work motivation. Taking nurses as the subjects, the current study proposed that surface acting would affect job satisfaction and further psychological well-being through nurses’ controlled work motivation, and work and family support would moderate the above relationships in diverse directions. An online survey of n = 342 nurses working at a hospital in central China was conducted, evaluating surface acting, job satisfaction, psychological well-being, workplace support, and family support. Results indicated that surface acting negatively influenced nurses’ psychological well-being through job satisfaction. In addition, the results highlighted the two-faced aspect of social support, in which work support positively moderated the relationships between surface acting, job satisfaction, and psychological well-being, while family support intensified the abovementioned relationships negatively. These findings have important implications for surface acting, social support research, and managerial practices.

According to self-determination theory, motivation is multidimensional, with motivation regulations lying along a continuum of self-determination (Ryan & Deci, 2007). Accounting for the different types of motivation in physical activity research presents a challenge. This study used cluster analysis to identify motivation regulation profiles and examined their utility by testing profile differences in relative levels of self-determination (i.e., self-determination index), and theoretical antecedents (i.e., competence, autonomy, relatedness) and consequences (i.e., enjoyment, worry, effort, value, physical activity) of physical education motivation. Students (N = 386) in 6th- through 8th-grade physical education classes completed questionnaires of the variables listed above. Five profiles emerged, including average (n = 81), motivated (n = 82), self-determined (n = 91), low motivation (n = 73), and external (n = 59). Group difference analyses showed that students with greater levels of self-determined forms of motivation, regardless of non-self-determined motivation levels, reported the most adaptive physical education experiences.
