On a day-to-day basis, employees are faced with a variety of decisions pertaining to how they self-regulate their behavior and maintain (or, ideally, build) their well-being at work. In this course, we will identify the ways in which organizations can facilitate employee motivation to promote a healthier, more productive workforce. Throughout the course readings, you will be able to gain an understanding of various forms of employee motivation (e.g., autonomous versus controlled motivation, prosocial motivation), factors that affect motivation (e.g., self-efficacy, goal setting, proximal and distal person/organizational factors), and the role that resources play in monitoring self-regulation and employee well-being. Beyond these theoretical insights, you will also have the opportunity to develop a thorough understanding of unique methodological approaches (e.g., experience sampling, physiological assessments, continuous ratings assessments) that can be used to glean day-to-day insights into fluctuations in employee motivation and well-being.
