“…Intrinsic and extrinsic motivations are positively associated with adaptive outcomes, whereas amotivation is positively associated with maladaptive outcomes (Vallerand et al, 2008). The results of Harlen and Crick (2003) found that individuals with intrinsic motivation had lower anxiety.…”

Anxiety is a natural thing and can happen to everyone; it is a reaction to the inability to overcome problems or lack of security. However, excessive anxiety can impede one's function in life. Anxiety experienced by students can also hinder them in performing better. Setting goals that are difficult to achieve can cause students to experience anxiety or fear of not being able to achieve them. This study aims to examine the relationship model between several dispositional factors that can affect students' anxiety. The author investigated the relation between self-determined motivation, achievement goals, and anxiety in 365 business students. Specifically, the author investigated the relation between selfdetermined motivation (intrinsic motivation, extrinsic motivation, and amotivation), mastery goal orientation, performance-goal orientation and students' anxiety. Results of Pearson's correlation showed that students' anxiety was positively associated with performance-goal orientation, extrinsic motivation, and amotivation, but students' anxiety was not associated either with intrinsic motivation or mastery-goal orientation. Intrinsic and extrinsic motivation correlated with each other, but correlation between mastery and performance-goal orientation was not significant. Implementing structural equation modeling (SEM) was used to test the relationship models. The first model used three dimensions of motivation as mediating variables of influence between achievement goals and students' anxiety. The second model used two dimension of achievement orientation as mediating variables of influence between motivation and students' anxiety. It was found that the proposed models have a good fit. Students' anxiety was influenced primarily by extrinsic motivation, amotivation, and performance-goal orientation. Further, discussions on the results of this study are discussed in detail in this article.Key words: Intrinsic motivation, extrinsic motivation, amotivation, mastery goal orientation, performance goal orientation, students' anxiety.

Intrinsic motivation encourages individuals to focus on learning and mastering task skills, while extrinsic motivation emphasizes demonstrating that individuals have high abilities (Utman, 1997). Recent studies have found no significant negative relationship between intrinsic and extrinsic motivation (Bateman and Crant, 2003;Lepper et al., 2005;Lemos and Verissimo, 2014). This means that students can be motivated either by intrinsic or extrinsic factors.Students' motivation is a goal-oriented behavior that includes thinking in accordance with internal and ...

“…This situation significantly affected the relationship with their families, since they prioritised work and remained eager to show their professional skills. The failure to meet these introjected standards may have contributed to negative feelings and self-criticism in addition to symptoms of burnout in terms of emotional fatigue and problems in maintaining their health over time [1] [5]- [8].…”

Background: Workload, interpersonal relationships, professional conflict and the emotional cost of providing care are potential sources of stress and burnout among nurses. Based on experiences of hospital nurses, this paper aims to identify critical factors for nurses in managing relationally demanding situations in care for very ill and/or dying patients. Methods: In-depth interviews were carried out with six nurses, working in a medium-sized hospital in Norway. The interviews were analysed using an interpretative phenomenological analysis. Results: The lack of identification with the core aspect of the job, relational contact with patients and relatives, and external motivation were found as potential barriers for managing relationally demanding jobs. The results also indicate that the nurses' experiences of symptoms of burnout can be a result of demands that exceeded the nurses' resources. A match between personal capacity and demands, mutual support among colleagues and leadership support, and contextual factors are critical to prevent the negative process of burnout. Conclusion: The results underscore the importance of an early response to employees who are beginning to struggle at work and the relevance of a true match between personal capacity and job demands. Moreover support among colleagues and leadership seems critical to prevent a negative process of burnout and help to manage relationally demanding jobs.

SommaireLes maladies cardiovasculaires (MCV) comptent parmi les principales causes de maladie, d'hospitalisation, d'invalidité et de décès au Canada (Fondation des maladies du coeur du Canada, 2000). Elles sont considérées comme un problème de santé associé au style de vie puisqu'elles sont partiellement attribuables à de mauvais comportements en matière de santé, tels que le tabagisme, une alimentation malsaine, l'inactivité physique et le manque d'adhésion aux traitements médicaux prescrits (Allan, 1996). La Fondation des maladies du coeur du Canada (2000) estime qu'il est possible d'atténuer l'impact des MCV en diminuant les facteurs de risque et en assurant une utilisation efficace des interventions et des services de santé. La réhabilitation cardiaque recommandée suite à un épisode cardiaque aigu cible donc notamment la modification de facteurs de risque à incidence comportementale. Malgré les bénéfices évidents associés à cette réhabilitation, seul un faible pourcentage de patients ayant un diagnostic de MCV adhère sur une période suffisamment longue aux recommandations de leur médecin pour y constater des effets favorables sur la santé (Gordon & Haskell, 1997).Plusieurs recherches font par ailleurs état de résultats supérieurs lorsque la famille est intégrée aux programmes de réhabilitation (Campbell, 2003). La présente étude a comme objectif d'examiner certains facteurs motivationnels associés à la théorie de l'autodétermination, dans le but de mieux comprendre les mécanismes sous-jacents à l'adoption et au maintien des comportements de santé chez les patients atteints de MCV. les résultats suggèrent une tendance à l'effet que le soutien offert par la famille puisse être un meilleur prédicteur du degré d'autodétermination de la motivation spécifique à l'alimentation saine que le soutien offert par les médecins. Enfin, les résultats relatifs à la question exploratoire ont révélé que le soutien à la compétence est le type de soutien interpersonnel le plus influent et le seul significatif dans la prédiction du degré d'autodétermination de la motivation spécifique pour chacun des trois comportements de santé.
