THE AFFECTIVE DIMENSION OF WORK MOTIVATION
Journal Title: MANAGERIAL CHALLENGES OF THE CONTEMPORARY SOCIETY - Year 2016, Vol 9, Issue 2
Abstract
Motivation for work performance generates tensions, energy and forces at a mental, emotional and physical level. They influence the employee’s effort determining its form, amount, direction, intensity, persistence, consistency, and dynamism. These features of the endeavor are permanently changing as they are influenced both by context and circumstances, and by a multitude of interrelated causal variables (specific to the employee, organization and external environment). The goal of this article is to highlight the affective dimension of work motivation, focusing on core affects (emotions, moods, and feelings). Reality shows it is difficult to analyze core affective states as they are so many, having so many different meanings, intensities and valences (on the basis of some individual subjective assessments and reflections). Taking into consideration the literature, after a brief presentation of general facts about emotions, moods and feelings, the relationship between motivation and core affects has been analyzed. In order to argue that core affects are basic components of human functioning and provide primary motivation for any activity, we have framed a 7-phase affect-centered model of work motivation and have analyzed each phase.
