Nos atuais ambientes económicos, caracterizados pela sua constante mutação, a inovação das empresas tem-se tornado, cada vez mais, numa necessidade para a conquista de vantagens competitivas nos seus mercados de atuação. Assumindo a Criatividade como um dos primeiros passos no processo de inovação de uma empresa, este estudo pretende analisar os fatores que motivam o comportamento criativo dos colaboradores, tendo por base a Teoria da Autodeterminação, dando contributos à gestão sobre os vários caminhos de incentivo à Criatividade. Para tal, e partindo do modelo psicológico da criatividade de Amabile et al. (1993) e do modelo interacionista de Woodman e Schoenfeldt (1989), foi elaborado um questionário, aplicado ao setor das Tecnologias e Comunicações, por forma a inquirir a influência de fatores individuais, grupais e organizacionais na sua Criatividade no seio do seu local de trabalho. Os dados recolhidos foram analisados segundo uma metodologia mista: a aplicação da metodologia quantitativa permitiu averiguar as relações entre a criatividade e os vários fatores; a metodologia qualitativa, segundo a aplicação da fuzzy set Qualitative Comparative Analysis (fsQCA), possibilitou a análise de quatro configurações causais explicativas do comportamento criativo e de outras quatro referentes à ausência de criatividade.
In today's economic environments, marked by their constant changes, innovation embraced by companies has become a growing necessity for gaining competitive advantages in corporate markets. By assuming Creativity as one of the first steps in a company's innovation process, this study aims to analyse the factors that motivate the creative behaviour of employees, based on the Self-Determination Theory, thus aiding management in many ways to encourage creativity. In order to do this and starting with the psychological model of creativity of Amabile et al. (1993) and the interactionist model of Woodman and Schoenfeldt (1989), a questionnaire was elaborated and applied to the Technologies and Communications sector. Its objective was to investigate the influence of individual, group and organizational factors on the Creativity of these employees at their workplace. The collected data was analysed according to a mixed methodology: the application of the quantitative methodology allowed an investigation to be carried out on the relationships between creativity and the various factors involved; the qualitative methodology, according to the application of the fuzzy set Qualitative Comparative Analysis (fsQCA), allowed for an analysis to be performed on four explanatory causal configurations of creative behaviour and four others related to the absence of creativity.

"Relations entre performances académiques, motivation, sentiment d’efficacité personnelle et buts d’accomplissement : une étude menée auprès d’étudiants de classes préparatoires aux grandes écoles scientifiques." Thesis, Aix-Marseille, 2015. http://www.theses.fr/2015AIXM3041.
This research has been carried out among French science students enrolled in CPGE (Classes Préparatoires aux Grandes Ecoles). One of its objectives is to study how motivational variables influence academic achievement. Academic self-efficacy, achievement goals or self-determined motivation are reported to play an important part in academic achievement. By relating self-efficacy, goal orientations and motivation, as conceptualized in self-determination theory, to both preceding and subsequent academic achievement, it is possible to further investigate the structural relation between these variables. Therefore, we aim at analysing the mutual influences which exist among them.Psychometric tools, among which an academic self-efficacy scale, were created and validated. Path analysis were performed in order to produce a multivariate model including motivational variables, previous academic performance and subsequent academic achievement. Our results showed that:- self-efficacy is the only motivational variable that directly influences academic achievement; - mastery approach goal, which is influenced by self-efficacy, enhances intrinsic motivation but is negatively related to amotivation;- performance approach goal enhances extrinsic motivation and identified regulated extrinsic motivation is positively related to self-efficacy while externally regulated extrinsic motivation is negatively related to it;- amotivation is negatively related to self-efficacy;- Self-efficacy beliefs are mediators between amotivation and subsequent academic achievement.Future research could build on these findings.

From the perspective of philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche, there is no reality that exists in itself, no raw fact, no absolute reality: everything that we define as reality is, in fact, only the result of interpretation processes that are unique to us. Mo-reover, the data stored in information systems is often nothing more than the coded representation of statements made by human beings, thereby inherently involving human interpretation and consequently being affected by the same biases and limitations that characterize the human psyche. This thesis introduces a new conceptual framework, the "Data binding and reification" (DBR) model, that describes the process of data interpretation, and then the reification of information, using a new approach that places human-perception mechanisms at the heart of this process. By mobilizing cognitive and beha-vioral sciences, this approach allows us to identify to what extent human intervention and the structure of the environment to which one is subjected condition the emergence of cognitive biases affecting these processes. Experimental results partially validate this model by identifying the characteristics of the environment that affect, in an organizational context, the data-collection process and the quality of the information produced. This work opens up numerous perspectives, such as the development of a choice architecture in the sense of the economist Richard Thaler, which could improve the very process of data collection by modifying the experience of users of the information system

O presente estudo teve como principal objectivo analisar a relação entre diferentes variáveis motivacionais (estilos de auto-regulação) e diferentes indicadores de bem-estar associados à prática de exercício físico. Esta análise foi realizada há luz da Teoria da Auto-Determinação onde é proposto que os objectivos inerentes à motivação variam de sujeito para sujeito e são um continuum entre motivação intrínseca e motivação extrínseca, dependendo do grau de interiorização que o indivíduo faz das suas experiências. A amostra foi constituída por 431 pessoas, de ambos os sexos, com idades compreendidas entre os 17 e os 66 anos (M=29.12; DP=10.92), na qual foram identificados 316 praticantes de exercício físico e 115 nãopraticantes. Foram utilizados os seguintes instrumentos: Behavioural Regulation in Exercise Questionnaire 2, para avaliar os cinco estilos de regulação motivacional para a prática de exercício físico; Satisfaction With Life Scale, para avaliar o bem-estar subjectivo e a qualidade de vida; Flourishing Scale, para avaliar áreas importantes como: propósito na vida, relacionamentos, sentimento de competência e optimismo; Escala de Crescimento Pessoal, sendo uma das dimensões do Psychological Well-being Scale, avalia o desenvolvimento pessoal e a abertura a novas experiências; Subjective Happiness Scale, que avalia o nível de felicidade. Os resultados deste estudo indicam a existência de uma associação significativa entre variáveis de motivação e de bem-estar, destacando-se a regulação intrínseca (comportamento auto-determinado) que apresentou um poder, estatisticamente significativo, capaz de predizer diferentes variáveis de bem-estar, na prática de exercício físico.
ABSTRACT: This study's main objective was to analyze the relationship between different motivational variables (self-regulatory styles) and different well-being indicators associated with physical exercise. This analysis was performed under guidance consistent with the Self- Determination Theory where it is proposed that the objectives of the motivation vary from subject to subject and are a continuum between intrinsic motivation and extrinsic motivation, depending on the degree of internalization that individuals make their experiences. The sample consisted of 431 people, of both sexes, aged 17 to 66 (M=29.12; DP=10.92), in which 316 were identified exercise as practitioners and 115 non-practicing individuals. The following instruments were used: Behavioral Regulation in Exercise Questionnaire 2, to evaluate the five styles of motivational regulation for physical exercise; Satisfaction With Life Scale to assess subjective well-being and quality of life; Flourishing Scale to assess important areas such as: purpose in life, relationships, feelings of competence and optimism; Personal Growth Scale, one of the dimensions of Psychological Well-being Scale, assesses personal development and openness to new experiences; Subjective Happiness Scale, which assesses the level of happiness. The results of this study indicate the existence of a significant association between motivation variables and well-being, highlighting the intrinsic regulation (self-determined behavior) who presented a power, statistically significant, able to predict different well-being variables in physical exercise.

The present Thesis was set within a longitudinal randomized controlled trial, consisting of a 1-year theory-based behavior change intervention and a 2-year follow-up period with no intervention. This trial included 239 overweight or obese women (age: 37.6±7 y; BMI: 31.5±4.1 kg/m2) who were premenopausal and free from identified disease. The main intervention was designed to increase physical activity and internal motivation, following self-determination theory (SDT). While tested before for other health behaviors with promising results, SDT had never been previously applied to weight management in longterm, controlled designs. Thus, the four studies comprising this Thesis were designed to provide a comprehensive analysis of how a theory-based intervention, implemented to affect specific theory-based mediators, would impact exercise adherence and body weight change both in short and long-term, from a SDT perspective. After a complete description of the study protocol, theoretical framework, and main intervention strategies (study 1), study 2 showed that the intervention was successful in affecting theory-driven mediators, physical activity, and weight change at 12 months (intervention’s end), demonstrating that the socio-contextual characteristics advanced by SDT Abstract -2- are amenable to manipulation, and revealing the potential utility of SDT to shape behavioral interventions targeting the promotion of physically active lifestyles and weight-change. Studies 3 and 4 searched for a more in-depth understanding of the dynamics of exercise motivation by exploring and testing mediational models aimed at outlining theory-based mechanisms and their impact on different types of physical activity at intervention’s end (study 3), and on long-term behavioral exercise regulations and physical activity (24-month) and 36-month weight change (study 4). Convergent with previous research, but extending it into the context of a randomized controlled trial, these studies indicated that perceived needsupportive health care climate, psychological needs for autonomy and competence, and intrinsic motivation mediate the effects of the experimental treatment climate on structured exercise behavior. Furthermore, these variables rested within the causal path of long-term weight loss, providing evidence from a link between experimentally-increased autonomous motivation, long-term physical activity adoption, and 3-year weight management. This application of SDT to physical activity and weight management provides experimental evidence that an autonomy-supportive context facilitates the internalization of regulatory processes, particularly through its effect on exercise-related constructs, which in turn promote long-term positive behavioral and clinical outcomes in overweight/obese women.
A presente tese foi desenvolvida no contexto de um estudo longitudinal, controlado e com distribuição aleatória, configurando uma intervenção comportamental teoricamente sustentada, com a duração de um ano, seguida de dois anos de follow-up (sem qualquer intervenção). Este estudo envolveu 239 mulheres com excesso de peso ou obesidade, prémenopausicas e sem patologia diagnosticada. O programa de intervenção foi desenhado de acordo com os princípios base da teoria da auto-determinação (TAD), visando sobretudo o aumento da motivação intrínseca para a actividade física, procurando-se promover a sua adesão a longo prazo. Apesar de este enquadramento conceptual já ter sido testado com resultados promissores na promoção de vários comportamentos de saúde, não há relato de um teste experimental, com avaliações no longo prazo, da TAD no âmbito do controlo do peso. Os 4 artigos que constituem esta tese, no seu conjunto, foram desenhados para permitir a análise do modo como uma intervenção teoricamente sustentada, desenhada e implementada para ter efeito em variáveis-alvo mediadoras poderá influenciar a adesão ao exercício e a alteração do peso corporal, tanto no curto como no longo prazo. Partindo de uma descrição pormenorizada do protocolo experimental, das principais estratégias de intervenção e do racional teórico que as sustenta (estudo 1), o estudo 2 veio demonstrar que, 1 ano após o seu inicio, a intervenção parece ter sido bem sucedida na promoção de actividade física e perda de peso, tendo exercido influência positiva ao nível das principais variáveis-alvo mediadoras (por comparação com o grupo de controlo). Este estudo evidenciou a possibilidade de manipulação experimental das principais características sóciocontextuais identificadas pela TAD como fundamentais na promoção de estilos de vida activos, compatíveis com a eficaz gestão do peso. Os estudos 3 e 4 representam a passagem do estudo do impacto da intervenção para a procura de entendimento dos principais mecanismos motivacionais envolvidos. Com recurso ao teste de modelos mediacionais, procurou-se estudar o efeito diferenciado das variáveis-alvo identificadas pela TAD na adopção de diferentes tipos de actividade física um ano após o inicio da intervenção (estudo 3), bem como o papel das referidas variáveis na adesão continuada à actividade física (follow-up 2º ano), e alteração do peso a longo prazo (follow-up 3º ano). De forma congruente com investigações anteriores, mas estendendo-as a um enquadramento experimental e controlado, os resultados encontrados sustentam a percepção de um clima de suporte à satisfação das necessidades psicológicas básicas (autonomia e competência), e a motivação intrínseca, como mediadoras dos efeitos produzidos pela intervenção na adesão à actividade física estruturada. Estas variáveis funcionaram também como mecanismos associados ao envolvimento continuado em actividades físicas (dois anos após o início da intervenção) e controlo do peso a longo prazo (3 anos após o início da intervenção). Com base nos resultados encontrados, esta aplicação da TAD à promoção da actividade física e do controlo do peso fornece evidência experimental de que um clima de suporte ao desenvolvimento de autonomia e competência pode facilitar a internalização de regulações motivacionais mais autónomas para a actividade física, as quais se constituem como facilitadoras de mudanças comportamentais importantes e com relevância clínica, em mulheres com excesso de peso ou obesidade.

A prática de actividade física beneficia o sujeito praticante na sua saúde física e psíquica. No entanto em todo o mundo morrem, por ano, dois milhões de pessoas e a principal causa dessas mortes são as doenças que advém da sua inactividade física. (Rocha, 2010) O exercício físico, a sua prática regular, torna-se assim uma das principais acções de promoção de saúde na população, e para isso é necessário compreender de que forma a motivação e a auto-eficácia para ultrapassar barreiras influenciam a prática de exercício físico e a sua manutenção ao longo do tempo. A presente investigação tem como objectivo adaptar, para a população Portuguesa, o instrumento que mede a motivação para a prática de exercício físico e, numa segunda linha, avaliar que diferenças existem entre três grupos de exercício distintos relativamente à motivação para a prática de exercício físico e a auto-eficácia para ultrapassar barreiras na prática de exercício físico. A partir de uma amostra de 228 participantes, que responderam a um inquérito online, dividiu-se a mesma em três grupos distintos com base nas suas respostas demográficas: praticantes regulares, praticantes irregulares e não praticantes (segundo as delineações do CDC e da ASCM). Aplicaram-se os testes de motivação para o exercício físico e da auto-eficácia para ultrapassar barreiras. A escala da motivação apresentou uma consistência satisfatória (α= 0.650) pelo que se pode considerar adaptada para a população portuguesa. Nos grupos distintos de exercício físico, não se registaram diferenças significativas para a motivação para o exercício físico, e na auto-eficácia para ultrapassar barreiras verificaram-se diferenças significativas entre os praticantes regulares e os outros dois grupos de praticantes.
Physical Exercise benefits the participant physical and mental health. However, every year worldwide, two million people die due to diseases that come from inactivity (Rocha, 2010). Physical exercises, its regular practice, thus become one of rhe main actions to promote health in the population. Therefore its relevant to understand in which way motivation and barriers efficacy influences the practice of physical exercice and its maintenance over time. This research intends to adapt for the Portuguese population the instrument which measures motivation towards exercise and also measure if there are differences between the three disting groups of exercise regarding motivation to pratice physical exerceise and barriers efficacy in pratice of physical exercise. Among 228 participants, who have answered a query online, they were divided in three distint groups based on there socio-demographic answers: Regular exercisers, irregular exercisers and no exercise participants (According to CDC and ASCM instructions) motivation for physical exercise and barriers efficacy questionnaire were used in the research. The validation of the motivation instrument was satisfactory (α= 0.650) and instrument was sucessfully adapted to Portuguese Population. Regarding the three distinct groups, results showed there were no differences in the motivation for physical exercise and barriers-efficacy of regular exercisers were significantly different form the other two groups of exercise.

O presente estudo tem como objetivo verificar quais dimensões do Trabalho Digno combinam as condições necessárias e / ou suficientes para um determinado resultado em termos dos vários tipos de Motivação do Trabalho, de acordo com a tipologia definida pela Teoria da Autodeterminação. A Escala Multidimensional de Motivação para o Trabalho e o Questionário de Trabalho Decente foram aplicados a 83 trabalhadores em Portugal e a análise comparativa qualitativa dos conjuntos difusos foi realizada para o produto desses instrumentos. Dentre os diferentes resultados apresentados e discutidos mais adiante nesta pesquisa, os que apresentam maior consistência são a ausência da dimensão Remuneração Significativa para o Exercício da Cidadania, necessária à Amotivação, e a presença da dimensão Realização e Trabalho Produtivo como elemento necessário vinculado à motivação social extrínseca e introjetada no trabalho; e como condição suficiente para a motivação identificada no trabalho. Isso pode indicar, entre outras descobertas, a importância de uma remuneração significativa e como a realização da atividade de trabalho é percebida. As condições necessárias e suficientes são interpretadas como processos psicológicos. Os resultados deste estudo oferecem uma melhor compreensão dos vínculos entre as variáveis, incentivando pesquisas futuras em diferentes escalas e contextos. Outras implicações teóricas e práticas, limitações do estudo e perspectivas para o futuro são apresentadas na conclusão do estudo.
This present study aims to verify which dimensions of Decent Work combine as necessary and / or sufficient conditions for a given outcome in terms of the various types of Work Motivation, according to the typology defined by the Self-Determination Theory. The Multidimensional Work Motivation Scale and the Decent Work Questionnaire were applied to 83 workers in Portugal and the fuzzy sets Qualitative Comparative Analysis was performed to the product of these instruments. Among the different results presented and discussed further in this research, those who show the highest consistency are the absence of the dimension of Meaningful Remuneration for the Exercise of Citizenship as necessary for Amotivation, and the presence of the dimension of Fulfilling and Productive Work as a necessary element linked to Extrinsic Social and Introjected work motivation; and as a sufficient condition for Identified Work Motivation. This can indicate, among other findings, the importance of a meaningful remuneration and how fulfilling the working activity is perceived. The necessary and the sufficient conditions are interpreted as psychological processes. The results of this study offer a better understanding of the links between the variables, encouraging future research in different scales and contexts. Further theoretical and practical implications, limitations of the study and perspectives for the future are presented at the conclusion of the study.The International Labor Organization (ILO) introduced the concept of Decent Work (DW) (ILO, 1999a, 1999b; Ferraro et al., 2015) and defined it as “opportunities for women and men to obtain decent and productive work in conditions of freedom, equity, security and human dignity” (ILO, 1999b p. 3,). Since then, several disciplines have studied DW, being Work, Organizational and Personnel Psychology (WOPP) one of them (Ferraro et al., 2017). The approach given by the WOPP perspective (individual and subjective) improves upon the knowledge previously achieved on this concept through a micro-level of analysis (Ferraro et al, 2017), and also can add to the theory by developing new psychometric measurements of DW.On the other hand, motivation has been a popular topic for various researches trough history. Trying to find an answer on how people are and remain motivated, we focus on The Self Determination Theory (SDT; Deci & Ryan, 2000, Gagné & Deci, 2005). SDT emphasize on the differences between the content (the “what”) of the outcomes and the regulatory processes (the “why”) through which the outcomes are pursued, this differentiation helps in making predictions for different contents and for different processes (Deci & Ryan, 2000). Fuzzy sets Qualitative Comparative Analysis (fsQCA) is especially attuned to multiple conjunctural causations (Vis, 2012), which can be a combination of conditions that produce an outcome, when there is more than one condition that generates the same outcome (equifinality), or when depending on the context, an outcome is the result from the presence of a condition or its absence (Vis, 2012) We apply fsQCA in order to analyze the relation between the DW factors and the WM

Background: The quality of motivation is what underlines people’s choices to initiate and maintain physical activity. Purpose: Contribute to the validation of the Portuguese version of the Behavioral Regulation for Exercise Questionnaire (BREQ), using the analyses of their psychometric qualities, with few modifications of some the introjected sub scale and addition of new items. Methods: 364 participants, in which 231 practiced physical activity and 113 not, from both genders and with ages between 18 and 69 years. Results: Internal consistence results were good for the questionnaire and its sub scales. The confirmatory factorial analyses revealed inferior adjustment quality index than the original BREQ model of 5 factors. The t-student test showed significant differences between subjects physical active and not. Pearson correlations with the Locus Of Causality Scale for Exercise (LCE) demonstrate a positive and significant association between de sub scales which have greater autonomy index, with the LCE1, and become more negative as the intrinsic motivation decreases. Conclusions: With the results found in the study we can conclude that the new version of the BREQ4 and his Portuguese language adaptation can be used to evaluate in the motivational domain for the practice of physical activity.

Background: An increasing number of persons exercise at gym contexts. Exercise professionals are an important piece of these environments. Their motivation needs to be studied. Purpose: Using SDT as a theoretical framework, the study aimed to: characterize an exercise professionals sample; test associations between pressure perceptions (3 levels) and work related well-being indicators (burnout and work engagement); test moderator’s variables in this associations. Methods: Participants were 366 exercise professionals (males=193). Questionnaires were used to assess the variables: pressure perceptions “from above”, “from within”. “from bellow”, burnout and work engagement. Descriptive analyses, Pearson correlation tests and moderation analyses were used. Results: Significant and positive associations between pressure perception “from above” (r= ,224) and burnout were found. Lower pressures “from within” (i.e higher self-determination towards work) (r= ,-189) were negatively related with burnout. Conversely, work engagement and lower pressures “from within” were significantly and positively associated (r= ,220). Gender (female) and years of experience (10 or more years) were moderators of effect. Conclusions: The results found in the study are aligned with the theoretical fundaments by showing that perception of pressures is detrimental to engagement and linked to burn-out. They have also practical implications highlighting that pressures are not good motivators as generally convened. Thinking about motivation will contribute to a better exercise environment, both for clients and professionals.

Prior studies have demonstrated the benefits of intrinsic need satisfaction and autonomy support in the domain of education. It remains unclear whether the motivational constructs, derived from Self-Determination Theory (Deci & Ryan, 2000) are also beneficial for clinical populations. The purpose of this thesis is to shed light on how social and academic adjustment might be promoted by socializing agents in the context of social rehabilitation. This dissertation is composed of two studies investing SDT key tenets within two samples of maladjusted teenagers receiving special education and social rehabilitation services. The relations between key motivational constructs are investigated to determine if, as proposed by SDT, youths’ intrinsic need satisfaction might by promoted by socializing agents’ interpersonal style (i.e., autonomy support, involvement, and structure). It is also predicted that these constructs will lead to motivational and experiential benefits as proposed by SDT. The first study tested whether teachers’ interpersonal style can foster students’ need satisfaction, motivation style, as well as their academic adjustment. Teenagers (N = 115) enrolled in Social Rehabilitation Centers’ special schools for maladjusted youths with severe emotional and behavioral problems completed questionnaires twice, at the beginning and the end of the school year. Structural equation modeling analysis supports a model in which teachers’ improvements in autonomy support and involvement (but not structure) are associated with students’ higher need satisfaction, which in turns leads to self-determined academic motivation and less dropout intentions at the end of the school year. Furthermore, improvement in need satisfaction leads directly to a better affective experience at school. The second study was an experimental research conducted with maladjusted female adolescents (N = 29). The experimental design allowed comparing the impact of learning a tedious, but important clinical workshop with (vs. without) autonomy support on the internalization of the interpersonal problem solving task and positive motivational and experiential outcomes. The results suggest that an autonomy-supportive interpersonal style is beneficial to youths’ experience, leading to higher self-determined motivation, perceived task’s value, task liking as well as less negative affect compared to a condition without autonomy support. Results are discussed along with the theoretical and practical implications of extending the reach of SDT to a clinical population of maladjusted teenagers.
