| Abstract: | A model is proposed that presents a curvilinear relationship between the feasibility of a task and motivation to perform it, to account for theory, research, and anecdotal evidence consistent with both a positive and negative relationship between the two variables. Feasibility is defined as resources available to perform the task. The problem of resource scarcity is examined. It is shown that resource abundance permits the indulgence of higher-order needs, resulting in greater satisfaction. Discussion focuses on perceptual determinants, motivational consequences, and behavioural outcomes of resource-munificence, and implications for theory, research and practice. |
