ABSTRACT During the COVID-19 Pandemic, American workers began leaving their jobs in search of meaningful work. This change in the American workforce necessitated greater insight about what organizational members desire from their jobs. This study utilized self-determination theory (SDT) to explore workplace passion and its relation to members’ communication behaviors of voicing dissent, task and relational competence, and workplace relationships. These behaviors fulfill members’ needs of autonomy, competence, and relatedness, respectively. Results of an online survey of 308 people revealed that each of the communication behaviors were related to the corresponding psychological need. These findings contribute to passion and communication literature by identifying communication behaviors which members may use to communicate their passion. The findings also provide practical insights on how organizations can create cultures and environments that promote healthy communication behaviors that can foster passion within employees.
