Ryan and Deci's Self-Determination Theory01:17

Ryan and Deci's Self-Determination Theory

12.9K
Self-Determination Theory (SDT), formulated by Richard Ryan and Edward Deci, explains that human motivation is driven by three fundamental psychological needs: autonomy, competence, and relatedness. When these needs are met, individuals experience personal growth, intrinsic motivation, and overall well-being.
Autonomy is the need to feel in control of one's actions and decisions. For example, a student who chooses their research topic is likely to be more engaged and motivated than one who...

Self-Discrepancy Theory

One influential perspective on what motivates people's behavior is detailed in Tory Higgin's self-discrepancy theory (Higgins, 1987). He proposed that people hold disagreeing internal representations of themselves that lead to different emotional states.

Optimal Arousal Theory01:23

Optimal Arousal Theory

258
The optimal arousal theory suggests that performance is maximized when an individual experiences a moderate level of arousal. This theory is closely tied to the Yerkes-Dodson law, which illustrates an inverted U-shaped relationship between arousal and performance. The law, formulated by psychologists Robert Yerkes and John Dodson, implies an ideal arousal level for optimal performance, and deviations from this level can lead to declines in effectiveness.

Deindividuation00:57

Deindividuation

26.7K
Deindividuation is a form of social influence on an individual’s behavior such that the individual engages in unusual or non-normal behavior while in a group setting. Why? Because in these group settings, the individual no longer sees themselves as an individual anymore, disinhibiting their behavior and personal restraint.

Social Loafing01:37

Social Loafing

35.3K
Another way in which a group presence can affect performance is social loafing—the exertion of less effort by a person working together with a group. Social loafing occurs when our individual performance cannot be evaluated separately from the group. Thus, group performance declines on easy tasks (Karau & Williams, 1993). Essentially individual group members loaf and let other group members pick up the slack. Because each individual’s efforts cannot be evaluated,...

Self-Presentation: Self-Monitoring and Self-Handicapping02:05

Self-Presentation: Self-Monitoring and Self-Handicapping

39.4K
People can go to great lengths to protect their self-image and present themselves in ways that they want others to see them. Sociologist Erving Goffman presented the idea that a person is like an actor on a stage. Calling his theory dramaturgy, Goffman believed that we use “impression management” to present ourselves to others as we hope to be perceived. Each situation is a new scene, and individuals perform different roles depending on who is present (Goffman, 1959). Think about...

Area of Science:

  • Organizational Behavior
  • Human Resource Management
  • Psychology

Background:

  • Organizational work systems evolve due to various factors, with researchers seeking to sustain individual performance.
  • The COVID-19 pandemic necessitated a significant shift towards work-from-home (WFH) arrangements across industries.
  • Understanding the moderators of WFH effectiveness is crucial for maintaining productivity in evolving work environments.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify key factors moderating the effectiveness of work-from-home on individual performance.
  • To develop a conceptual framework for WFH-individual performance based on Self-Determination Theory (SDT).
  • To explore implications for theory development and practical applications in remote work settings.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized Self-Determination Theory (SDT) as the theoretical foundation.
  • Developed a conceptual framework linking WFH effectiveness to individual performance.
  • Identified six potential moderating factors: dedication, disposition, determination, configuration, collaboration, and coordination.

Main Results:

  • Dedication, disposition, and determination are proposed as intrinsic motivators for WFH performance.
  • Configuration, collaboration, and coordination are identified as extrinsic motivators influencing WFH effectiveness.
  • The conceptual framework integrates intrinsic and extrinsic factors to explain WFH-individual performance.

Conclusions:

  • The study provides a framework for understanding the multifaceted nature of WFH effectiveness.
  • Identified intrinsic and extrinsic motivators offer insights for optimizing remote work strategies.
  • Future research directions are suggested for refining the model and its practical implications.
