Autonomous motivation： the key to employee performance and workplace success

(Title)

Abstract

In the face of modern pressures, competition and demands, with change and uncertainty looming over the workplace there is perhaps no better time to uncover an innovative motivational technique. The promotion of autonomy-support offers a promising intervention to enhance high-quality forms of motivation and performance, whilst maintaining employee wellbeing and quality of working life. Based on the Self- Determination Theory, the present research aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of an autonomy-supportive motivational style on intrinsic motivation and performance in a learning task. The study employed an independent measures research design with two experimental conditions that enabled a comparison between ‘autonomysupporting’ and ‘autonomy-thwarting’ motivational techniques. The research was conducted with University Students to ascertain the utility of this motivational tool for the next generation of workers. It was hypothesised that, compared to a condition which incorporated a controlling motivational style, participants in an autonomysupportive condition would have greater intrinsic motivation (H1) and display superior performance (H2). Moreover, it was hypothesised (H3) that a causal chain would be observed in which autonomy-support affects intrinsic motivation which, in turn, influences performance. All three hypotheses were found to be supported. The results demonstrate consistent differences between the experimental conditions despite the brief nature of the interaction, indicating the profound impact of manipulating the perception of autonomy. Furthermore, they highlight that there is more to motivation than simply its quantity and that an understanding of the quality of motivation would be invaluable for various life domains. Finally, this study demonstrates the simplicity with which perceived autonomy can be influenced and presents a novel motivational tool that could enrich employee motivation, enhance performance and drive business success.
