The Role of Work Motivation in Psychological Health
نویسنده
چکیده
It is incumbent on organisations to find ways to support their employees and help them achieve their full potential; they must provide employees with conditions that promote psychological health. Based on a series of studies conducted by Dr. Claude Fernet, recipient of the 2012 CPA President’s New Researcher Award, this article sheds light on the role of work motivation in employees’ psychological health in an attempt to provide a better understanding of the forces at play. More specifically, these studies describe how the multiple dimensions and functions of work motivation can explain employees’ adaptation to the work environment and their psychological health. Directions for future research are then proposed.
