“…Research is based on the growing awareness that traditional motivation models fail to explain and predict human behavior diversity, especially in the workplace. Leonard et al try to overcome its weakness by presenting a meta-theory of work motivation (Ryan, 2010). Achievement motivation observes that someone approaches a new task with a learning goal orientation, while others approach a task with a goal in the right way, namely obtaining favorable assessments or avoiding negative judgments from others (Reio & Ghosh, 2009).…”

The research process begins by identifying problems in the Ministry of Public Works and Public Housing (PUPR) of the Republic of Indonesia. These several targets were not achieved by the end of 2019, sorting and conducting problem formulation, data collection, and preliminary studies. This process starts from January 2020 to May 2020. Following the research objectives, the research design used was a descriptive causal study with the variable Motivation, Transformational Leadership, and Organizational Culture as the independent variable and the Employee Performance variable as the dependent variable. The study population was all PUPR civil servants who had duties and directly related to planning activities and reporting systems. Respondents were selected using a purposive sampling technique. Using the sample size technique from Slovin, the number of respondents in this study was 120 respondents. Field data collection was carried out by survey method using questionnaires, which were processed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) using the Partial Least Square (SmartPLS) version 3.0 program. The results show that the performance of the state civil servants at the Ministry of PUPR of the Republic of Indonesia is positively and significantly influenced by work culture, especially in the use of working time effectively and efficiently, and is closely related to how well a superior is as a role model who gives an example to subordinates in implementing time management well.

“…The metatheory of motivation allows for the examination of workplace motivation as a multidimensional and complex phenomenon. To date, the theory has been applied successfully in both the theoretical and empirical study of workplace motivation to aid our understanding of the relationships between workplace motivation and a variety of workplace phenomena (Barbuto and Xu, ; Barbuto and Story, ; Kooij et al., ; Muller et al., ; Young, ; Ryan, , ). The theory is particularly effective in its recognition of the degree of personal difference that exists across workers whose motives may stem variously from the five motivational sources contained within the metatheory.…”

This research examines the work motivation profile of research scientists and the effect of work motivation on research performance. A sample of United Kingdom-based research scientists (N = 405) working in the chemical, biological and biomedical research domains took part in the study. Participants completed a survey based measure of motivational sources and self-report research performance evaluation. The motivational sources of internal self-concept motivation and instrumental motivation were found to be the strongest and weakest respectively for research scientists. External self-concept motivation was found to be significantly higher among younger scientists. No gender differences were found in the motivational profile of scientists. While controlling for the influences of age and gender, internal self-concept motivation was found to have a significant positive effect on research performance, and instrumental motivation was found to have a significant negative effect on research performance. Consistent with prior research, differences in research performance across age and gender were also identified. The implications of these findings for our understanding of the effective management of scientific research are discussed.

“…Empirical evidence is also available (Ryan, 2010) on the existence of different sources of motivation such as goal internalisation, self-concept internal motivation, intrinsic process motivation, instrumental motivation and self-concept external motivation. The extent to which these motivational sources could explain different leadership behaviours among top management in a corporate environment has been established (Barbuto, 2000).…”

Orientation: Leadership challenges have been evident in the South African higher education sector since 2004. Dealing with these challenges has focused more on external factors at top management level than on the possible contribution of intrinsic factors among other levels of institutional management.Research purpose: The purpose of the research was to determine the relationship between motivation sources and the leadership styles of middle managers in a South African higher education institution.Motivation for the study: The ongoing leadership challenges in the higher education sector in South Africa require not only strategies to deal with them at a national level but also academic efforts that focus on previously neglected areas, such as sources of leadership motivation.Research design, approach and method: The population of the study consisted of 75 middle managers, comprising both academic and non-academic staff. A final sample size of 40, conveniently selected, was achieved. A quantitative research approach was employed using the case study method.Main findings: Results showed a positive relationship between transformational leadership and intrinsic process motivation, self-concept internal motivation and goal internalisation motivation. A negative correlation was found between instrumental motivation and transactional leadership style.Practical and managerial implications: Motivation sources could be used to explain leadership behaviour and assist in the selection and development of specific leadership styles for the different managerial levels within academic institutions through motivation profiling. Sources of motivation may provide one of many pieces of information to consider when making recruitment and leadership development decisions within institution.Contribution or value added: This is the first study of its kind to investigate the two variables within a higher education context. The study makes an invaluable contribution to the broadening of existing knowledge and a scholarly understanding of leadership motivation and behaviour.
