Money talks? The motivational mechanisms of base pay on well‐being and work performance
Whether compensation serves as a motivational resource for employees is still a debated subject. It has been suggested that the effect of pay on motivation could be contingent on the satisfaction of the basic psychological needs as outlined by self‐determination theory. The current research explored the role of amount of base pay as well as pay fairness discrepancy in relation to basic psychological need satisfaction, autonomous work motivation a…

Strengths use at work: Positive and negative emotions as key processes explaining work performance
Strengths use has been frequently associated with work performance. However, the psychological processes involved in this relation remain unclear. Drawing on the Broaden‐and‐Build theory of positive emotions and extending previous work on this topic, the objective of this study was to examine the mediator role of positive and negative emotions in the relation between strengths use and work performance. Results confirm previous findings regarding …
Factors Associated With Burnout, Post-traumatic Stress and Anxio-Depressive Symptoms in Healthcare Workers 3 Months Into the Covid-19 Pandemic: An Observational Study
Objective: This study examined how best to identify modifiable protective and risk factors for burnout in healthcare workers in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic. Individual, occupational, organizational and social factors were investigated. The study also assessed the impact of these factors on post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), anxiety, and depression. Methods: Healthcare workers in the Quebec (Canada) healthcare system were recruited betwe…
Self-determination trajectories at work: A growth mixture analysis
Obsessive Passion: A Compensatory Response to Unsatisfied Needs
The present research investigated the role of two sources of psychological need satisfaction (inside and outside a passionate activity) as determinants of harmonious (HP) and obsessive (OP) passion. Four studies were carried out with different samples of young and middle‐aged adults (e.g., athletes, musicians; total N = 648). Different research designs (cross‐sectional, mixed, longitudinal) were also used. Results showed that only a rigid engagem…
Validation of the Perceived Parental Autonomy Support Scale (P-Pass).
The Multidimensional Work Motivation Scale: Validation evidence in seven languages and nine countries
Self-determination theory proposes a multidimensional conceptualization of motivation comprising autonomous and controlled forms. Whereas autonomous motivation relates positively to individuals’ optimal functioning (e.g., well-being, performance), controlled motivation is less beneficial. To be able to use self-determination theory in the field of organizational behaviour, the Multidimensional Work Motivation Scale was developed and tested using …
Harmonious passion as an explanation of the relation between signature strengths’ use and well-being at work: Test of an intervention program
Using signature strengths at work has been shown to influence workers’ optimal functioning and well-being. However, little is known about the processes through which signature strengths lead to positive outcomes. The present research thus aimed at exploring the role of having a harmonious passion in the relation between using signature strengths and well-being. For this purpose, an intervention was developed where participants ( n = 186) complete…
The Motivation at Work Scale: Validation Evidence in Two Languages
The Motivation at Work Scale (MAWS) was developed in accordance with the multidimensional conceptualization of motivation postulated in self-determination theory. The authors examined the structure of the MAWS in a group of 1,644 workers in two different languages, English and French. Results obtained from these samples suggested that the structure of motivation at work across languages is consistently organized into four different types: intrins…
