Self-Determination Theory Research in Organizations

Abstract

Self-determination theory is one of the most prominent theories in personality and social psychology, yet its impact on organizational research has been minimal. The purpose of the current symposium is to highlight research applying self-determination theory concepts to organizational phenomena. In particular, we seek to illustrate how self-determination theory can enrich our understanding of organizational phenomena and how organizational research can inform and extend self-determination theory as well.
