Motivational Drivers of Extensive Work Effort : Are Long Hours Always Detrimental to Well-being? / Argyro Avgoustaki
Article
Is extensive work effort always detrimental to professionals’ well-being? We argue that the link between extensive work effort and well-being depends on the reasons why professionals work extended hours. Drawing on self-determination theory and data from an international consultancy firm, we show that extrinsically driven work effort is negatively related to well-being, while intrinsically driven work effort is positively related to well-being. A reinforcing effect seems to exist between the two types of motivators, revealing that intrinsically driven work effort has both a direct and an indirect link to well-being, mitigating the downsides of extrinsically driven work effort.
