          Abstract

          Abstract: We examine the volitional, non-rational nature of motivation and its impact on symbolic production at work. Based on a ethnographic study on a Brazilian special police force we argue that institutional stability and stable symbolic frames of references have long been taken for granted in studies of motivation, thus leaving aside the role of aesthetical demand in producing active symbolic elaboration at work. Unstable institutional frames of reference are relevant to understand the efforts of internal integration, identity building and relations of alterity at work. In this sense, this article has the main objective of contributing to the studies on intrinsic motivation within organizations.

          Resumen: Examinamos la naturaleza volitiva y no racional de la motivación y su impacto en la producción simbólica en el trabajo. Basándonos en un estudio etnográfico en una fuerza especial de policía en Brasil, sostenemos que la estabilidad institucional y la estabilidad de marcos de referencia simbólicos se han dado por sentado en los estudios de motivación, dejando de lado el papel de la demanda estética en la producción de la elaboración simbólica activa en el trabajo. Los marcos institucionales de referencia inestables son relevantes para comprender los esfuerzos de integración interna, construcción de identidad y relaciones de alteridad en el trabajo. En este sentido, este artículo tiene el objetivo principal de contribuir a los estudios sobre la motivación intrínseca dentro de las organizaciones.

            Intrinsic motivation and extrinsic incentives jointly predict performance: a 40-year meta-analysis.

            More than 4 decades of research and 9 meta-analyses have focused on the undermining effect: namely, the debate over whether the provision of extrinsic incentives erodes intrinsic motivation. This review and meta-analysis builds on such previous reviews by focusing on the interrelationship among intrinsic motivation, extrinsic incentives, and performance, with reference to 2 moderators: performance type (quality vs. quantity) and incentive contingency (directly performance-salient vs. indirectly performance-salient), which have not been systematically reviewed to date. Based on random-effects meta-analytic methods, findings from school, work, and physical domains (k = 183, N = 212,468) indicate that intrinsic motivation is a medium to strong predictor of performance (ρ = .21-45). The importance of intrinsic motivation to performance remained in place whether incentives were presented. In addition, incentive salience influenced the predictive validity of intrinsic motivation for performance: In a "crowding out" fashion, intrinsic motivation was less important to performance when incentives were directly tied to performance and was more important when incentives were indirectly tied to performance. Considered simultaneously through meta-analytic regression, intrinsic motivation predicted more unique variance in quality of performance, whereas incentives were a better predictor of quantity of performance. With respect to performance, incentives and intrinsic motivation are not necessarily antagonistic and are best considered simultaneously. Future research should consider using nonperformance criteria (e.g., well-being, job satisfaction) as well as applying the percent-of-maximum-possible (POMP) method in meta-analyses.
