The effect mechanism and conditions of reinforcement of intrinsic motivation to contextual performance

Abstract

Abstract: Intrinsic motivation and core self-evaluation are hot issues of modern psychology and behavioral research, meanwhile work engagement and contextual performance are also long-term focus of management practices departments, but the research of relationship between them is almost a blank. This paper, through the questionnaire answered by 726 employees from financial and telecom enterprises, tries to discuss the effect mechanism of intrinsic motivation to contextual performance by making work engagement to be the mediator variable, and explore the conditions of reinforcement of intrinsic motivation to contextual performance by making core self-evaluation to be the moderator variable. The results obtained by using the software SPSS and LISREL show that the intrinsic motivation of employees and contextual performance have significantly positive correlation; work engagement fully mediates in the effect mechanism of the intrinsic motivation of employees to contextual performance; core self-evaluation as a condition of reinforcement positively adjusts the effect of the intrinsic motivation of employees to contextual performance.

Key words: intrinsic motivation, work engagement, core self-evaluation, contextual performance
