Self-determination theory (sdt): a theory of motivation that considers whether people"s motivation is autonomous or controlled. Autonomous motivation: when people are self-motivated by intrinsic factors. Controlled motivation: when people are motivated to obtain a desired consequence or extrinsic reward. Extrinsic factors can lead to autonomous motivation when an individual internalizes the values or attitudes associated with behavior, and no longer require the extrinsic factor to motivate him or her to perform the behavior. Key aspect of sdt: the extent to which one"s motivation is autonomous versus controlled. *performance: the extent to which an organization member contribute to achieving objective of the organization. Motivation------personality, general cognitive ability, understanding of task, emotional intelligence, chance------performance. *general cognitive ability: a person"s basic information processing capacities and cognitive resources.
