“…Sarwar and Khalid (2015) found that there was a significant positive relation between social support and work motivation. Other studies also showed that there was a positive relationship between the level of motivation and perceived support from the environment (Tezci et al, 2015). Taken together, we argue that career motivation is an important mediator for the relationship between support for development and employee self‐development.Hypothesis The effect of work support for development on employee self‐development will be partially mediated by career motivation . Hypothesis The effect of nonwork support for development on employee self‐development will be partially mediated by career motivation .…”

This study examines the influence of supportive work and nonwork environment on employee self‐development. We further propose that career self‐efficacy and career motivation play mediating roles during the process. Cross‐sectional survey data were provided by 418 employees working in a variety of organizations. Confirmatory factor analysis, structural equation modeling analysis and bootstrap analyses were performed to investigate the hypothesized relationships. Results show that work support and nonwork support for development made unique contributions to employee self‐development. The relationship between nonwork support for development and employee self‐development is mediated by career self‐efficacy and career motivation. The relationship between work support for development and employee self‐development is mediated by career motivation. This research expands the support for development from work environment to a broader social environment and clarifies how both work and nonwork supportive environment are positively related to employee self‐development. Finally, we discuss the practical implications for personnel selection and career development.

“…In fact, students' academic attitudes and behaviors are strongly influenced by key social agents, such as teachers, parents, classmates, and friends (Legault et al, 2006). The positive role of social support in academic motivation has been documented (e.g., Tezci et al, 2015), with prior research suggesting positive associations between students' academic motivation and support received from their parents, teachers, and friends (e.g., Atnafu, 2012;High and Scharp, 2015;Jiang et al, 2015).…”

“…Social support can be defined as “the processes of social exchange that contribute to the development of individuals’ behavioral patterns, social cognitions, and values” ( Farmer and Farmer, 1996 , p. 433). It is also described as promoting the motivation needed to achieve success, and to cope effectively with stressful events ( Tezci et al, 2015 ).…”

et al. 2021

In this study we examined whether parents’ perceptions of students’ anxiety as well as perceived support from both teachers and classmates were predictive of changes in students’ academic motivation during the first wave of COVID-19. To this end, we used a retrospective pretest-posttest design together with a latent change score model to analyze our data. From April to May of 2020, 394 Portuguese parents of students in grades 1–9 participated in this study. Our results showed that students’ anxiety and teachers’ social support, as perceived by parents, were highly significant predictors of academic motivation changes. Specifically, we found a negative effect of anxiety and a positive effect of teachers’ social support on students’ academic motivation. Our results did not show, however, a significant predictive role of classmates’ social support. This study provides an important contribution to further understand the intrapersonal and interpersonal factors that are associated with the decline of students’ academic motivation during the COVID-19 pandemic. The pivotal role of teachers in sustaining students’ academic motivation and other relevant educational implications for the ongoing pandemic are discussed.

“…Social support and motivation are interrelated concepts. The studies carried out on this relationship (Ahmed, Minneart, Werf and Kuyper, 2010;Atnafu, 2012;Federici and Skaalvik, 2014;Tezci, Sezer, Gürgan and Aktan, 2015;Wentzel, Battle, Russel and Looney, 2010) are generally of foreign origin with an increase in recent years.…”

The aim of this study was to analyze the predictor effect of the social support, perceived by students, on their motivational orientation. The subjects of the study consisted of 561 students that received education in Bartın during 2013-2014 education year and selected through an applicable sampling method. The Perceived Support Scale developed by Yıldırım (2004b) as well as the Scale of Motivational Orientations in the Classroom developed by Lepper, Corpus and Iyengar (2005), translated into Turkish by Tulunay-Ateş and Buluç (2015) were used in the study to gather data. SPSS and LISREL software packages were used for analysis of the obtained data. According to the results of the study; the social support perceived by the students was significantly related to the intrinsic and extrinsic motivation, and the social support positively predicts the intrinsic and extrinsic motivation.
