“…Sheldon and Niemiec (2006) also ascertained that each BPN, in an individual manner, significantly predicts happiness. More recently, Molix and Nichols (2013) confirmed, among other results, a positive connection between BPN satisfaction and a eudemonic and hedonic perspective of wellbeing, data that corroborates the positive influence of BPN on well-being in both perspectives.…”

“…Thus, the bicultural self is conceived better as a dynamic process of constant conflict resolution and adaptation when the individual is living in a transitional society with both traditional and modern cultural systems juxtaposed. The changing view of the self in Chinese societies suggests an individual's needs include autonomy, competence and comradery which can affect an individual's intrinsic motivation (Molix and Nichols, 2013;Guntert, 2015). Thus, the bicultural self may provide a means of explaining a set of needs that must be met for intrinsic motivation to increase (Lu, Kao, Chang, Wu & Zhang, 2008).…”

“…The need for competence is the need to feel capable of learning and doing work-related tasks. Last, the need for relatedness is the need to feel a sense of belonging with significant others (Molix & Nichols, 2013). These needs are regarded as essential ingredients for an individual's optimal functioning and performance (Deci & Ryan, 2000).…”

The aim of this research was to investigate the impact of authoritarian leadership and authentic leadership, which satisfies employees' needs to different extents, on employees' engagement with their work. The moderating effect of intrinsic motivation between leadership and work engagement also was tested among Chinese workers in Taiwan. The snowball sampling method was used, and data were collected for 350 subordinate-supervisor dyads. The results of regression analysis indicated that, when controlling for obedience, authoritarian leadership was found to be negatively related to subordinates' work engagement, but authentic leadership was found to be positively related to work engagement. Intrinsic motivation appears to foster the positive relationship between authentic leadership and work engagement and buffer the adverse impact of authoritarian leadership on work engagement. The theoretical, research, and practical implications of these findings are discussed in this paper.

INTRODUCTION Tobacco use disorder is critical among people aged 16 to 25 years. College campuses are prime locations for smoking cessation interventions for young adults. The vast majority of the smoking research with college students has been epidemiological in nature. This study examined a novel motivational interviewing intervention designed for college students, and explored predictors of smoking behavior change. METHODS A quasi-experimental one group pretest-posttest design with repeated measures was used to evaluate a novel text message-based brief motivational interviewing intervention. The data were collected from undergraduate students (N=33) who smoked cigarettes in Fall 2015. RESULTS Students' level of autonomy and relatedness needs satisfaction, autonomous motivation, and smoking cessation self-efficacy increased (p < 0.05), and their rate of daily smoking declined (p <0 .05) over time. However, competence need satisfaction, readiness to quit smoking and severity of nicotine addiction remained unchanged. Smoking cessation self-efficacy was the strongest predictor of smoking behavior change in college students. CONCLUSIONS This study adds to the knowledge on smoking behavior among college students. Preliminary evidence indicates that text message-based motivational interviewing and smoking cessation self-efficacy may help guide successful smoking behavior interventions for college students.
