| Abstract: | Intrinsic motivation depends not only on innate qualities common to all people, but also on socialization into aspects of national culture that support proactive work behaviour. Constructs from comparative research (work centrality, work goals, societal norms) predict attitudes and aspects of performance that reflect intrinsic motivation. Results predicting attitude criteria are quite similar for supervisor-level employees of local governments in the United States, Japan, and Hungary. Results predicting evaluated performance are stronger in the first two countries. |
