“…It would be interesting to assess the potential effects of need-supporting and need-thwarting social environments (Rocchi, Pelletier, Cheung, Baxter, & Beaudry, 2017) and to investigate whether these environments would predict the basic psychological needs and the two forms of passion at the same time, given that the social environment has been highlighted as being important in relation to passion (Vallerand, 2015). More objective and, at the same time, privacy-respecting measures would be useful and could reinforce the current findings, such as actual time spent with the activities, activity log data, or time spent with the individual functions.…”

Rooted in Self‐Determination Theory, the present research sought to investigate whether the “bright” and “dark” side of human functioning (need satisfaction and need frustration, respectively) would, as determinants, differentially predict harmonious passion (HP) and obsessive passion (OP) for screen‐based activities such as Facebook use, TV series watching, online gaming, and smartphone gaming. For this purpose, four cross‐sectional studies were carried out (Ntotal = 1,065). Results showed that, across all activities, need satisfaction was negatively related to OP, but not HP. A similar pattern emerged with need frustration: It was positively related to OP, but not HP. Moreover, even after controlling for the self‐reported amount of time spent on the activities, HP predicted adaptive, activity‐specific outcomes, whereas OP predicted maladaptive ones. These findings suggest that general need satisfaction may be a protective factor against the compensatory function of OP, but need frustration may be a potential risk factor of OP and both should be taken into account in the case of passion for screen‐based activities.

“…The Interpersonal Behavior Questionnaire (Rocchi, Pelletier, Cheung, Baxter & Beaudry, 2017) Portuguese version (Rodrigues, Pelletier, Neiva, Teixeira, Cid & Monteiro, 2019b) was used to measure the way gym exercisers perceive fitness instructors' interpersonal behaviors. Only those assessing perceived thwarting behaviors were considered for this study, namely: autonomy thwarting (four items: e.g., "My fitness professional pressures me to do things his way"), competence thwarting (four items: e.g., "My exercise professional give me negative feedback and tells me that I am unfit"), and relatedness thwarting (four items: e.g., "My fitness professional has "cold" interactions with me").…”

Motivation plays an important role when it comes to regular physical exercise. Hence, low levels of intentions to continue exercising in the future may ultimately lead to higher rates of exercise dropout. The first objective of the present research was to test a theoretical model considering the dark side of motivational determinants on intentions towards exercising in the future. The second objective consisted in comparing groups with different characteristics, as a way to identify individuals with weaker intention, which is believed to be an indicator of a higher dropout risk. In total, 544 (294 female; 250 male) gym exercisers aged between 18 and 58 years (M = 35.00; SD = 11.57) partook in the present research. Participants were engaged in fitness group classes (n = 273) or in cardio/resistance workouts (n = 271), and their exercise experience ranged from 3 to 120 months (M = 47.41; SD = 7.54). Results showed that the measurement and the structural model had an excellent fit. In addition, the structural model was invariant between gender, fitness activities, and exercise experience. Each group displayed different explained variance in intention to continue exercising. Overall, male, young adults and more experienced exercisers had stronger intentions towards exercising. Fitness instructors should be aware of their own thwarting behaviors, especially when interacting with female, young and less experienced exercisers, since they have weaker intentions to exercise in the future, possibly representing an increased risk of withdrawal.

“…The focus on team members, colleagues or peers also allows us to broaden the scope of interventions on need supportive behaviour. Although anyone can be need supportive in interacting with others (Rocchi, Pelletier, Cheung, Baxter, & Beaudry, ), a thorough analysis of the literature learns that intervention studies to increase need supportive behaviour are mostly targeted at socialising agents in a hierarchical position such as teachers, parents or managers (Su & Reeve, ). Oftentimes these interventions capitalise on multiple knowledge and activity‐based sessions explaining the theoretical foundations of SDT and need supportive behaviour, and exercising such behaviour in complementary practical sessions using individualised feedback on one's own need supportive behaviour, either in role play or real life situations (e.g.…”

How Colleagues Can Support Each Other's Needs and Motivation: An Intervention on Employee Work Motivation

Organisations have flattened and increasingly rely on teamwork. Therefore, colleagues play an increasingly important role in stimulating employee motivation. Adopting Self-Determination Theory as a guiding framework, the aim of this field experiment was to examine whether team members can be trained in supporting each others basic psychological needs for autonomy, competence, and relatedness and, hence, increase each others need satisfaction and autonomous motivation, while decreasing controlled motivation. We delivered training to 146 participants nested in 26 participating teams and assessed basic need satisfaction and autonomous and controlled motivation before and after the intervention. Multilevel regression analyses indicated that employees in the experimental (i.e. intervention) condition had a stronger increase in need satisfaction and autonomous motivation than employees did in the control condition, and that the increase in autonomous motivation was mediated by an increase in need satisfaction. This study provides added value for theory on need satisfaction and demonstrates that a relatively brief intervention among team members may be effective in creating employee need support and increasing autonomous motivation.* Address for correspondence: Tomas Jungert, Lund University, Box 213, SE-221 00 Lund, Sweden.

INTRODUCTIONHaving a well-functioning workforce is essential for organisations to stay competitive. Employee motivation is essential for such organisational success. According to Self-Determination Theory (SDT; Gagn e & Deci, 2005) employees feel and perform better when their motivation is autonomous in nature, that is, when they volitionally engage in their work because they find it enjoyable, interesting or valuable. Employees function less optimally when they are motivated in a controlled way and engage in particular behaviour out of inner or external pressures. Because of the importance of autonomous versus controlled motivation for employee behaviour and wellbeing, it is crucial to understand when both types of motivation emerge. According to SDT, employees become autonomously motivated when they feel satisfied in their basic psychological needs for autonomy, competence and relatedness, while controlled motivation arises when these needs remain unsatisfied. The current study aims to test this assumption through an intervention study. Specifically, we present a field experiment investigating the effect of a need support intervention on employees levels of need satisfaction, and autonomous and controlled motivation. In the intervention, which was administered in a group setting, employees are trained to support each others basic psychological needs. Based on tenets from SDT, we expect employees that took part in the intervention to show higher levels of need satisfaction and autonomous motivation, and lower levels of controlled motivation than employees who were part of the control group. This s...
