Abstract

The goal of the study was to determine the extent to which seafarers' work and life satisfaction can be explained by the six aspects of work motivation based on the Self-Determination Theory. The research was conducted on a convenience sample of Croatian seafarers (N = 286), ranging from 18 to 65 years. The applied questionnaire consisted of sociodemographic and work characteristics questions, and measures of job satisfaction, life satisfaction, and six dimensions of work motivation. The results of regression analyses showed that two dimensions of work motivation with the highest level of self-determination contribute positively to the explanation of job satisfaction and life satisfaction: intrinsic motivation and integrated regulation. Furthermore, external regulation contributes positively to the explanation of life satisfaction, while amotivation has proven to be a significant negative predictor of job satisfaction. The results indicate the importance of developing and encouraging autonomy in work motivation in seafarers, but also the specifics of work motivation that are associated with the socio-economic context of the maritime profession in Croatia.

自我决定理论在解释海员工作幸福感某些方面的应用

本研究的目的是确定基于自决理论的工作动机的六个方面可以解释海员的工作和生活满意度的程度。该研究是在克罗地亚海员的方便样本(N = 286)上进行的，年龄从18岁到65岁不等。应用问卷包括社会人口学和工作特征问题，以及工作满意度、生活满意度和工作动机六个维度的测量。回归分析结果显示，自我决定水平最高的两个工作动机维度:内在动机和综合调节对工作满意度和生活满意度的解释有正向作用。此外，外部调节对生活满意度有正向的影响，而动机对工作满意度有显著的负向影响。研究结果表明，发展和鼓励海员工作动机自主性的重要性，以及与克罗地亚海事专业社会经济背景相关的工作动机的具体情况。
