<p>This study investigated the mediation role of intrinsic and extrinsic motivation in the relationship between creative educational environment and metacognitive self-regulation. Participants were 300 girls, selected randomly from the girl hostel in university of Tehran. Participants completed Akoal’s creative educational environment questionnaire, AMS academic motivation questionnaire and self-regulated learning strategies questionnaire MSLQ. To examine reliability of measures, Cronbach alpha coefficient and to determine validity factor analysis were used. The path diagram of hypothetical model was tested. Findings revealed the relationship between the models variables. So, teachers who want their students have a high intrinsic motivation in addition to create a conditions for free choice, should be confide the students, support ideas and give time to the idea, consider duties that are challengeable, teach debate, conflict and risk to their students and also with regard to the vitality, joy, dynamism and humor, create education environment for the development of their creativity. By creating such an environment, intrinsic motivation and using meta-cognitive self regulation becomes more. Implications and suggestions for future studies are discussed.</p>

Organizations from different industries worldwide focus their efforts and budgets to enhance employees’ creativity which is widely perceived as a major success ingredient in today’s challenging business environment. Consequently, practitioners and managers establish reward systems to enhance employees’ creativity. However, the literature presents opposing views pertaining to the relationship between rewards and employees creativity, such that some scholars find it important to be intrinsically motivated to be creative whereby others find extrinsic motivation (e.g. rewards) to be important to enhance creativity. This paper aims to provide a comprehensive literature review by presenting prominent theories addressing the role of intrinsic and extrinsic motivation in enhancing employees’ creativity. It then highlights the research questions intended to be investigated and finally presents the context of proposed empirical research. Keywords: creativity, intrinsic motivation, extrinsic motivation, rewards

The present research aimed at exploring the relationship between academic motivation, learning climate (Autonomy supported) and academic boredom among university students. In addition to this it aimed at confirming the mediating role of learning climate in relationship between intrinsic motivation and academic boredom among students studying in Universities of Pakistan. For the present study data was collected from 399 university students. The age of the sample ranged from 17 to 35 years (M = 21.45, SD = 2.40). Reliability coefficients of all the variables ranged from .65-.89 (Class Related Boredom Scale = .89, Learning Climate Questionnaire =.88, Academic Motivation Scale = .82, Intrinsic Motivation = .81, Extrinsic Motivation = .81, and A Motivation =.65). Further correlational analysis indicated a negative relationship of classroom related boredom with learning climate and intrinsic motivation. However, class related boredom was found to have positive relationship with extrinsic and a motivation. Learning climate (autonomy supportive) showed positive relation with intrinsic motivation. Based upon literature, mediation analysis was carried out which confirmed the mediating role of learning climate (autonomy supportive) in relation between intrinsic motivation and academic boredom. In the light of existing literature, findings were discussed, and suggestions were given for future researches.

Purpose of the study: The study aimed to discover the learning strategies of distance learners and their relationship with their intrinsic and extrinsic motivation. Methodology: The study followed a quantitative correlational research design. The study sample comprised 550 female and male students enrolled as distance learners at the university level. The tool of learning strategies MSLQ was adopted from Pintrich et al. (1991) and the scale of intrinsic and extrinsic motivation was adopted from Lepper et al. (2005). The data were analyzed through descriptive and inferential statistical techniques. Main Findings: The findings of the inquiry concluded that the learning strategies of distance learners were directly associated with both intrinsic and extrinsic motivations. Applications of this study: This study is applicable to assess the intrinsic and extrinsic motivation of distance learners enrolled at the university level. Moreover, this study is helpful to understand the relationship between the motivation of learners and their learning styles. Novelty/Originality of this study: Much of the research work has been done in the mainstream education sector, but there is a shortage of empirical data on the relationship between the learning styles of distance learners and their motivation. Thus, this research could be a torchbearer in this area.

A motivação tem-se destacado como um construto importante para o ensino eficaz e aprendizagem significativa. A busca dos profissionais da educação é por estratégias e procedimentos mais eficazes para que os estudantes  aprendam e apliquem os conhecimentos adquiridos nas universidades. Nesse sentido, este estudo consistiu na aplicação da Escala de Motivação Acadêmica (EMA), baseada na Teoria da Autorregulação, em 814 universitários paulistas e mineiros, sendo 70,3% do gênero feminino, com faixa etária de 18 a 62 anos, dos cursos de administração (57,3%), psicologia (27,2%) e pedagogia (15,5%). Constatou-se que os estudantes apresentaram menor média para o fator motivação extrínseca por recompensas sociais e média maior no fator motivação intrínseca, demonstrando ser esta a motivação que os alunos entendem como a que melhor proporciona aprendizagem. Verificou-se, também, uma alteração no continuum de autorregulação; que as mulheres balizam mais seu estudo pela motivação intrínseca; que quanto mais os universitários avançam em idade, mais a motivação intrínseca sobressai. Olhando-se para os semestres, concluiu-se que a motivação permeia todos eles, sendo fator importante para a didática. Verificou-se também que o curso de administração mostrou-se mais dependente da motivação extrínseca para o estudo, enquanto os cursos de pedagogia e psicologia se aproximaram muito mais da motivação intrínseca. A hipótese da necessidade de refinamento dos itens que medem a motivação extrínseca e a ampliação e diversificação da amostra oportunizariam o aprofundamento da investigação.     Motivation has stood out as an important construct for effective teaching and meaningful learning. The search for educational professionals is for more effective strategies and procedures for students to learn and apply the knowledge acquired in universities. In this sense, this study consisted in the application of the Academic Motivation Scale (AMS), based on the Theory of Self-Regulation, in 814 college students from São Paulo and Minas Gerais, being 70.3% female, with ages ranging from 18 to 62 years old, from business administration (57.3%), psychology (27.2%) and pedagogy (15.5%). It was verified that the students presented a lower average for the extrinsic motivation factor due to social rewards and a higher average in the intrinsic motivation factor, demonstrating that this is the motivation that the students understand as the one that best provides learning. It was also verified that there was a change in the continuum of self-regulation, that women are more motivated by intrinsic motivation, and that the older the students get, the more intrinsic motivation stands out. Looking at the semesters, it was concluded that motivation permeates all of them, being an important factor for didactics. It was also verified that the business administration course proved to be more dependent on extrinsic motivation for study, while the pedagogy and psychology courses were much closer to intrinsic motivation. The hypothesis of the need for refinement of the items that measure extrinsic motivation and the expansion and diversification of the sample would provide an opportunity to deepen the investigation.

Employee engagement has long been an instrumental component of human capital strategies and continues to dominate the conversation about how high-performing organizations attract and retain their best talent. Engagement is a construct of component parts, however, and we believe there is still much to be learned about engagement by taking an in-depth look at those components. This article examines employee motivation as a core element of engagement, including its antecedents and outcomes, the types of motivation and the dynamics between them, and the ways organizations can foster and harness motivation for improved engagement. Our research identifies a large and consistent motivation gap, such that employee intrinsic motivation is consistently higher than extrinsic motivation. This gap signals that investments in engagement can yield a higher return if strategically focused on motivation, and so we offer recommendations regarding how to close this gap via intrinsically and extrinsically motivating work structures and environments. The goal is to create a new dialogue around engagement and encourage organizations to break it down in order to understand it more fully.

Organisational innovativeness is known to be affected by employee incentives and motivation, but the evidence is inconclusive regarding the organisational contexts and contingencies where this phenomenon takes place. To examine this issue, we adopt the Competing Value Framework of four types of organisational cultures, and hypothesise differences in the incentives–motivation–innovativeness relationships. Using an empirical study of 425 Finnish firms in technology industries, we found in general that intangible and tangible incentives facilitate both intrinsic and extrinsic motivation, but only intrinsic motivation leads to improved organisational innovativeness. Testing our model for subsamples that included clan, adhocracy, market, and hierarchy cultures, we found that results vary considerably between those. First, incentives have different implications to motivation under different organizational cultures. Further, intrinsic motivation leads to innovativeness under adhocracy, clan, and market culture, but not under hierarchy culture, and extrinsic motivation does not lead to innovativeness under any culture.

This chapter explores the role of motivation in contemporary work. Beginning with an overview of motivation in the recent history of working, the role of the Hawthorne effect and contributions on flow provide a contrasting view of both extrinsic and intrinsic motivation. The narrative excerpts from the participants of the Boston College Working Project identified the role of creating and accomplishing, intrinsic and extrinsic motivation, personal attributes related to motivation, relationships and motivation, and the role of competition in motivation. The chapter concludes with a review of promising new directions in motivation, including self-determination and organizational justice, culminating in a discussion of how work-based policies need to support and nurture our natural striving to accomplish and do well at work.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate the relationship between individual motivation – both intrinsic and extrinsic – and learning effectiveness; moreover, this paper also investigates whether this relationship is moderated by gender. Design/methodology/approach A quasi-experimental study was conducted. The research measured intrinsic motivation, extrinsic motivation and learning effectiveness among 1,491 students attending a course-work in informatics and computer basics in three different contexts: Burundi, Morocco and India. Findings Findings suggest that intrinsic motivation has a positive effect on learning effectiveness, while extrinsic motivation has a negative effect on learning effectiveness. It also shows that gender has a moderating role. Originality/value This research offers interesting contributions to the extant literature: first, it is the first to consider the moderating role of gender in the relationship between students’ motivation and learning effectiveness; second, it proposes the analysis of a rather broad data set with 1,491 students, thus providing strong empirical research based on a consistent data set.
