performance We have to understand the psychological motivation and create the good condition in which people are motivated Psychological motivation is of two types: intrinsic and extrinsic Intrinsic motivation comes from internal or self stipulation Extrinsic motivation comes from external or contingent rewards The study based on Self-Determination Theory that focuses specially on intrinsic motivation and its effect on job performance The study has carried out a survey of 239 respondents from companies in the Ho Chi Minh city based on the well designed self-reported questionnaire Using multiple regression model, three intrinsic motivators – perceived autonomy, perceived competence, perceived relatedness – have showed their positive effects on in-role job performance Interestingly, relatedness has the strongest effect, autonomy has moderate effect and competence has lowest effect The mean analysis has not been found statistically significant difference among demographic groups This study also contributes to the theory of motivation and initially confirms the validation of SelfDetermination Theory in the Viet Nam context CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION 1.1 Introduction Many studies have been carried out to understand about the motivation According to definition of Psychology Today, Motivation is literally referred to the desire of a person to things (Psychology Today, How to get motivated, 2012) Ryan & Deci asserted that motivation concerns energy, direction, persistence – all aspects of activation and intention Motivation relates to the person who are managers, teachers, leaders and involves mobilizing others to act (Ryan & Deci, 2000) Kinicki and Kreiner suggested that motivation presents psychological processes that cause stimulation, persistence of voluntary actions that are goal directed (Kinicki & Kreitner, 2001) Employees that are motivated to work long and hard are normally more productive than that are not motivated (Daniels, J.D and Radebaugh, 2001) Motivation is of two general types: intrinsic motivation and extrinsic motivation As defined by Gagne and Deci (2005), intrinsic motivation refers to internal factors such as interest, enjoyment, choice, perceived competence, relatedness etc Satisfaction of these factors causes and maintains intrinsic motivation Aronson, Wilson and Akert (2002) defined “Extrinsic motivation refers to external factors which can be measured in monetary terms such as salary and bonuses etc” (cited in Mundhra & Jacob, 2011) These are external to the people According to Ryan and Deci (2000), the term extrinsic motivation is the attainment of separate outcome from the performance of an activity; and intrinsic motivation is the performance of an activity for the inherent satisfaction from the activity itself They also mentioned that fun and challenge are of greater significance to an intrinsically-motivated person than external pressures, contingencies and rewards In this study, based on the Self-Determination Theory proposed by Deci and Ryan (2000), I refer to perceived competence, perceived autonomy and perceived relatedness as three intrinsic motivators to evaluate the motivation of the company on employees Performance has the important concern for the leaders to pay attention and it can be used to evaluate the leadership effectiveness Performance of an individual depends on his ability and motivation There are two types of employee performance in-role and extra-role as the overall motivation It is used to assess the motivation through perceived performance by himself As suggested by William and Anderson (1991), a person undertakes his job responsibilities and requirements, he has done his inrole performance A person takes the actions beyond his job responsibilities and requirements at his voluntary behavior, he has taken extra-role performance (William and Anderson, 1991) In this study, I refer to in-role performance to measure the overall motivation of employee 1.2 Problem Statement Morgan (1997) (cited in Mundhra & Jacob, 2011) stated that people are valuable resource that may contribute in several different ways to a company’s outcome provided that the company creates them an appropriate chance to Mundhra and Jacob (2011) mentioned that a company needs its employees working at their best effort towards its goals for its success Employee also have a desire to remain and work for long time in the company However, according to a report, in average, every three new employees are recruited, there are two current employees leaving the company The turnover rate is about 40-50% (Tran, 2011) Also, this paper reported that a survey by Navigos in 208 enterprises in 2005 with 35,000 participants, the job leave rate was very high: 18.2% for management level; 14.8% for experts and 23% for office staff and workers And research of Kevin and Keri (2006) confirmed that the primary principle for employment loyalty and commitment in the twenty first century is of leadership factors Moreover, the absenteeism and bad attitude (stress, negative effort, tardiness, stealing) are also important issues for the companies Such loyalty and commitment comes from motivation Motivation has been defined as the amount, quality and direction of the employee, effort that energizes their behavior within the work environment (Perry and Porter, 1982) Schultz (1998) 51 The result showed that the regression model with dummy variable was significant (sig.
