Full textTwo field-based quasi-experimental studies (Studies 3 and 4) were designed to explore the impact of performance-contingent rewards in an organizational setting. Both studies differentiated between private sector workers, who received a merit-based salary (performance-reward expectancy) and workers from the public sector who received a salary based on seniority (no performance-reward expectancy). Study 3 replicated the previous findings by demonstrating that that performance-reward expectancy undermined workers perceived autonomy. Study 4 extended these results by revealing that the presence of performance contingent reward programs in organizations undermined employees' work satisfaction and relatedness. Such incentives also had a tendency to reduce workers' adjustment to retirement.

Full textIt is unclear whether parental autonomy support is related to positive outcomes for adolescents in collectivist and hierarchical societies, where values of deference to authority and putting the community's needs above oneself are encouraged. The current study examined the relations of specific autonomy supportive behaviors to adolescent outcomes in Ghana, a country described as collectivist and hierarchical, and compared findings to the US which has been described as individualist and egalitarian. In addition, it examined whether adolescents' self-construals influenced the relation of specific types of autonomy support with outcomes. A mixed-methods design was used. Participants in the quantitative portion of the study were 401 seventh and eighth graders from Ghana (N = 156) and the US (N = 245). Participants in the qualitative portion were 8 Ghanaian parents. Factor analyses indicated two distinct types of autonomy support: perspective-taking and allowance of decision-making. Perspective-taking was found to be a valid measure of parents' autonomy support in both countries, however allowance of decision-making was valid only in the US and not in Ghana. Additionally, in the US, perspective-taking was a unique predictor (over allowance of decision-making) of positive outcomes. Results also suggested that adolescents' self-construal significantly moderated the relationship between autonomy support and outcomes such that the more independent adolescents' self-construal, the stronger the relation of decision-making to autonomous motivation and other measures of well-being. Results are discussed in terms of how parents can provide autonomy support in ways congruent with the cultural context in which they live.

Full textSelon la théorie de l'autodétermination, les gens doivent satisfaire leurs besoins innés de relations, d'autonomie et de compétence pour fonctionner efficacement. Les besoins d'autonomie et de relations ont été identifiés comme étant particulièrement importants pour le développement de l'identité. L'autonomie est la nécessité de se sentir authentique et autodéterminé et le besoin d'affiliation est la nécessité d'être connecté et relié à d'autres. Bien que les gens soient naturellement portés vers un fonctionnement autonome et vers l'auto-actualisation, c'est l'environnement social qui détermine dans une large mesure s'ils pourront ou non les satisfaire. L'environnement social peut favoriser l'autonomie et faciliter l'intégration des valeurs, l'expression des intérêts intrinsèques et l'établissement de liens profonds et significatifs avec les autres; au contraire, l'environnement social peut être contrôlant et entraver cette tendance naturelle, menant la personne à se sentir comme un pion contrôlé par les autres, incapable d'exprimer des intérêts personnels ou de former des relations plus que superficielles avec les autres.Dans cette thèse, j'examine un type particulier d'environnement social contrôlant, qui oppose le besoin d'autonomie au besoin d'affiliation. En d'autres termes, la personne vit un conflit entre son désir d'être authentique et celui d'être connecté et lié à sa famille. Globalement, je me suis intéressée à façon dont la tendance à la croissance psychologique est affectée par les conflits entre l'autonomie et d'affiliation vécus pendant l'enfance. J'ai pensé que cette variable distale continuerait d'influer sur le fonctionnement actuel, en affectant la mesure dans laquelle l'environnement actuel est perçu comme répondant aux besoins.

Full textThe study attempted an exploration of the relation between aspects of autonomy and cognitive development, at the concrete operational stage. This was intended as a contribution to extending Piagetian theory in order to encompass an understanding of variations in cognitive development. Thirty Sub A boys and girls were individually tested on a modified Piagetian Inventory, and a modified sentence completion test of autonomy. The Vineland Scale was administered to their parents, and teachers completed a teacher rating scale of autonomy, developed for this study. Through regression analyses, it was found, in line with previous research, that autonomy was situationally specific. Linkages between some aspects of autonomy and specific areas of concrete operational thinking were also evident. A number of preliminary interpretations were offered for the findings. It was concluded that the linkage between aspects of autonomy and areas of concrete operational thinking could be understood within a Piagetian framework, with implications for a revision of Piagetian theory.

Full textStudy 3 examined the over-time impact of maternal autonomy-support on children's adjustment in school. Autonomy-support, rewards, and other parenting dimensions were measured when children were 5 years old. Regression analyses revealed that autonomy-support was positively related to teacher-rated adjustment and reading achievement when children were 8 years old whereas the use of rewards was unrelated to these outcomes. Supplemental analyses also revealed that autonomy-support was associated with children's greater integration across social and academic domains. Together, these results highlight the significance of autonomy-support in early childhood.

Full textStudies have shown that feedback as well as autonomy predicts job satisfaction. The purpose of this quantitative study is therefore to investigate the correlation between job satisfaction, positive feedback and autonomy. The study was conducted by distributing a survey through social media. The survey contained a total of 36 items and was divided into three parts, job satisfaction, feedback and autonomy. Some demographic questions began the survey. A total of 123 people participated in the study. The measuring instruments used were the Minnesota Satisfaction Questionnaire for measuring job satisfaction, for measuring autonomy, a dimension consisting of six items, from Barrick and Mount (1993), was used, and the Feedback Environment Scale (FES) was used to measure feedback. The result shows positive relationships between the job satisfaction, positive feedback and autonomy variables, and feedback predicts job satisfaction better than autonomy.

Full textLa théorie de l'autodétermination a révélé que le support de l'autonomie ainsi quele contrôle éprouvés dans une situation peuvent augmenter ou diminuer la motivationintrinsèque. La recherche en cognition sociale a démontré que les personnes forment desreprésentations mentales (schémas) d'autres qui peuvent généraliser à des nouvellessituations. Cette thèse examine la manière dont l'activation des représentations despersonnes qui supportent ou contrecarrent l'autonomie interagit avec la personnalité pourinfluencer la motivation intrinsèque dans une nouvelle tache. Les participants ont fournides noms de personnes qui supportent et contrecarrent leur autonomie, puis quelquessemaines après ont été amorcés avec une représentation d'une de ces personnes. Lesparticipants étaient ensuite engagés dans un casse-tête d'objets caches, où leurmotivation intrinsèque pour la tache était mesurée. Les orientations générales à lacausalité et les niveaux d'attachement anxieux et évitant ont également été évalués plustôt dans le semestre. Nous avons trouvé que dans certain cas, les orientations à lacausalité et l'attachement anxieux ont modéré l'effet de l'amorçage sur la motivation.
Christian, Rucksana. "An investigation of domestic workers' perceptions into the effects of employer involvement on parenting and parental autonomy." Master's thesis, University of Cape Town, 1998. http://hdl.handle.net/11427/9062.
Full textDomestic workers (DWs) have been described in sociological literature as "trapped" workers. They have been portrayed as workers coerced into powerlessness and unassertiveness by virtue of their economic dependence on employers. Observations of DWs in clinical settings have confirmed these assertions. This study examines how eight DWs negotiate their parental authority f autonomy while having their own children living with them on their employers' premises and also having employers involved in parenting DWs' children. The results are based on semi-structured interviews with DWs. Interviews were taped, transcribed and the data analysed qualitatively. Results were discussed according to the following themes: 1. the nature of employer involvement 2. areas of employer involvement 3. areas of employer non-involvement in parenting and its relationship to the issues of power, culture and difference. Emergent themes were identified and discussed. Overall the expected finding that DWs would experience difficulties with parental autonomy was not supported. Recommendations regarding implications for treatment and research are made.
