It argues for a focus on the quality of workers' motivation over quantity. Motivation that is based on meaning and interest is shown to be superior to motivation that is based on pressure and rewards. Work environments that make workers feel competent, autonomous, and related to others foster the right type of motivation, goals, and work values. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Oxford Handbook of Work Engagement, Motivation, and Self-Determination Theory \u003c\/em\u003eaims to give current and future organizational researchers ideas for future research using self-determination theory as a framework, and to give practitioners ideas on how to adjust their programs and practices using self-determination theory principles.
