“…The majority of studies on motivation in SE report that developers are distinct from other occupational groups with respect to motivation [3]. "The work itself" is the most commonly cited motivator, but there is a lack of detail regarding what aspects of the work is motivating, how motivational processes occur, and the outcomes of motivating developers [3,21]. Investigations also show the importance of considering affective aspects of SE.…”

Abstract. Software developers are both users of development tools but also designers of new software systems. This dual role makes developers special users of work-related software. To increase the understanding of developers as users and to evaluate the ability of common measurement scales to address developer experience, we conducted a survey measuring developers' flow state, intrinsic motivation and user experience. Scales used were the Short Dispositional Flow Scale, items from the Intrinsic Motivation Inventory, the Short AttrakDiff-2, and our own DEXI scale. 57 developers from 25 countries responded and results indicate that intrinsic motivation and autotelic experience are significant predictors of developers' UX whereas hedonic, pragmatic, and general quality are not. In addition, developers' needs are characterized by efficiency, informativeness, intuitiveness, and flexibility of the tool.

“…However, the vast majority of the previous studies followed a quantitative approach based on survey research as the main research methodology [4,5]. Few qualitative studies were found in the literature and none of these studies provided a synthesis of results found in different industrial contexts.…”

“…The motivators of this mapping study has been done due to the lack of existing literature regarding the research performed for motivators and demotivators of software development. This study have encounter few studies on motivators and demotivators of software engineers, however, did not find specific mapping study on motivator and www.ijacsa.thesai.org demotivator of ASD [16]. The data presented is scattered form that is why it is necessary to integrate such literature in the form of mapping study.…”

“…Tables II and III represent the mappings of motivators and demotivators from exist literature. Beecham et al [70] did a systematic literature review on motivators and demotivators on software engineer which is further enhanced by [44]. This domain still demands a lot of work as this has direct concern over employee satisfaction.…”
