Abstract

While most prior research has demonstrated the wide-ranging beneficial outcomes of intrinsic motivation, some studies have shown that it may lead to deleterious consequences. These conflicting findings indicate that the question of whether employees' intrinsic motivation helps improve their functioning remains open. Drawing on effort-recovery theory and employing a multilevel daily diary design, we aimed to explore how, when, and why employees' daily intrinsic motivation might impact their functioning. Utilizing a sample of tour guides from China, the results suggested that daily intrinsic motivation simultaneously increased next-day state depletion and task performance via nighttime problem-solving pondering (PSP). Moreover, recovery self-efficacy was found to weaken the positive association between nighttime PSP and next-day state depletion and strengthen the positive association between nighttime PSP and next-day task performance. Our research advances knowledge about the differential effects of employees’ daily intrinsic motivation on their next-day performance and well-being.

内在动机是喜忧参半吗？日常内在动机对员工职能的不同影响

尽管之前的大多数研究都证明了内在激励的广泛益处，但也有一些研究表明，内在激励可能会导致有害的后果。这些相互矛盾的研究结果表明，员工的内在激励是否有助于提高他们的工作能力，这个问题仍然悬而未决。我们以努力恢复理论为基础，采用多层次每日日记设计，旨在探索员工的日常内在动机如何、何时以及为何会影响他们的职能。通过对中国导游的抽样调查，结果表明，日常内在动机通过夜间的问题解决思考（PSP）同时增加了第二天的状态耗竭和任务绩效。此外，研究还发现，恢复自我效能削弱了夜间 PSP 与次日状态耗竭之间的正相关，而加强了夜间 PSP 与次日任务绩效之间的正相关。我们的研究增进了人们对员工日常内在动机对其第二天绩效和幸福感的不同影响的了解。
