“…Other SDT dimensions evident in responses include intrinsic motivators such as those of relatedness, to include encouragement of participation in activities like festivals and making them accessible to all (residents, locals and students). Intrinsic motivation, described as inherent enjoyment or enthusiasm to engage in activities (Deci and Ryan, 2000), may be encouraged through novelty, variety and group-oriented activities, as suggested in a prior study (Dodd et al, 2020). Perceived competence may be further enhanced through local management by emphasising the provision of services by making them accessible and available to all, through simple, reachable communications means (i.e.…”

“…Finally, relatedness in the current study is a significant precursor to the tourism service product at the local level. Local management staff could be asked to encourage camaraderie by modelling behaviours and setting the tone through friendly, engaging and caring interactions, encouraging support for NGOs and local festivals and events, as mentioned by Dodd et al (2020). Such measures may be especially important for municipalities that have high numbers of tourism visitors.…”

“…Festivals are important events hosted by almost every municipality in Northern Cyprus. These festivals present an opportunity for municipalities and communities to demonstrate their commitment to the locality and as Dodd et al (2020) state, to remain competitive and relevant, municipalities must increase their focus on sustainability. Although research on festivals has mainly focused on the economic impacts they bring to municipalities, they discuss the wider sustainability impacts.…”

PurposeThis study draws on self-determination theory (SDT) and describes a study that elucidates how motivation can be fostered in the local management context. The study aims to provide state and local officials with a decision-making tool that allows evaluation of the quantity and quality of the public services by using SDT to interact with locals and students.Design/methodology/approachA qualitative approach and thematic analysis (TA) were used to find common themes and to develop an in-depth insight by gathering specific information from the point of view of local residents. In total, 19 interviews with locals were conducted using questions drawn from SDT.FindingsThe study found that the most significant obstacles were autonomy, competence and relatedness to intrinsic and extrinsic factors such as managing budgets, provision of basic services such as waste management, accessibility and support for local non-government organisations and local festivals and lack of knowledge about sustainable tourism product development among local residents.Originality/valueAlthough there is growing knowledge related to environmental and social concern, the municipality's engagement level in this area is low. Hence, the study provides state and local officials with a decision-making tool to evaluate public services' quantity and quality through the SDT on locals and students, and it is significant to explain the application of SDT to the tourism service at the local level and its potential to develop sustainable tourism.

“…Extrinsic awards include but are not limited to salary increase, incentive pay, work time-off, promotion, commission, and extra bonuses. However, extrinsic awards are external and lack long-term motivational value (Dodds, Holmes & Novotny, 2022;Pramono, 2021). Thus, most extrinsically motivated employees feel less recognised when they are outperformed by other staff members, thereby affecting their stimulus towards performance productivity.…”

Orientation: Awards are mostly given on the basis of recognitions without ascertaining it influence on the current state of awardee and their future performance. Research purpose: The main purpose of this study was to ascertain the influence of awards on teacher’s motivation towards optimal performance. Motivation: This study was motivated by the existing gap in the previous literature on how awards actually motivate teachers and other better ways to motivate teachers towards optimal performance. Research method: A qualitative study and a participatory action research design were employed, where primary schools in Delta State, Nigeria, were sampled. Data was collected using written interview techniques, and the subjective thoughts of the participants were vital in this study to ascertain the influence of awards on teacher’s motivation towards optimal performance. Analysis: To analyse the participant’s responses, a thematic technique for data analysis was employed using ATLAS.ti version 9, which helped the researchers categorise selected themes from the responses collected from participants. Findings: The study result revealed that although awards contribute significantly to teachers’ motivation, teachers’ motivation and optimal performance could also be cushioned by professional development, encouragement by superiors, learners’ performance, learners’ participation, acknowledgement of hard work, competitive salary, and fringe benefits. Managerial implications and contribution: Thus, since the study was carried out to provide a practical academic-based solution to a real-life scenario, the contribution of this study (Integrated Model for Primary School Teacher’s Awards and Motivation) was recommended to the concerned stakeholders in the primary education department in Delta state, Nigeria.

“…A more positive forecast is that the crisis has encouraged people and organizations to appreciate the value of natural environments and livelihoods which may drive the adoption of more sustainable practices in the future (Dodds et al, 2020). Crossley (2020) cited that the pandemic may result in increasing desires to repair the ecological damage caused by tourism.…”
