Abstract
The Job Demands-Resources model: A motivational analysis from Self-Determination Theory The Job Demands-Resources model: A motivational analysis from Self-Determination Theory This article concerns the doctoral dissertation of Van den Broeck (2010) which details employee motivation from two different recent perspectives: the job demands-resources model (JD-R model) and the self-determination theory (SDT). This article primarily highlights how the studies of this dissertation add to the JD-R model by relying on SDT. First, a distinction is made between two types of job demands: job hindrances and job challenges. Second, motivation is shown to represent the underlying mechanism of all relationships from job characteristics to burnout and work engagement, as detailed in the JD-R model. Finally, motivation is considered as a personal resource protecting employees from detrimental environmental influences and assisting them in making maximum use of beneficial job characteristics. In conclusion, this article highlights how the dissertation, based on a positive view on mankind, puts motivation to the fore in the JD-R model.
