Purpose Calling is typically associated with more intrinsic than extrinsic work motivation. This could give the impression that employees a calling do not need or care about external rewards. To deepen understanding of relationship between and motivation, purpose this paper to test how combined different types motivation such combinations affect outcomes differentially. Design/methodology/appro...

Reinforcement learning with sparse rewards is still an open challenge. Classic methods rely on getting feedback via extrinsic to train the agent, and in situations where this occurs very rarely agent learns slowly or cannot learn at all. Similarly, if receives also that create suboptimal modes of objective function, it will likely prematurely stop exploring. More recent add auxiliary intrinsic ...

We develop a general problem setting for training and testing the ability of agents to gather information efficiently. Specifically, we present a collection of tasks in which success requires searching through a partially-observed environment, for fragments of information which can be pieced together to accomplish various goals. We combine deep architectures with techniques from reinforcement l...

While intrinsically motivated learning agents hold considerable promise to overcome limitations of more supervised learning systems, quantitative evaluation and theoretical analysis of such agents are difficult. We propose to consider a restricted setting for autonomous learning where systematic evaluation of learning performance is possible. In this setting the agent needs to learn to navigate...

As a much needed quality in today’s businesses, creativity is an important area of research. Whilst implementing and evaluating computer support for electronic brainstorming, it was noticed that the sheer presence of technology does neither guarantee usage nor success. Contextual factors such as organisational culture and attitudes seem to have an equally important role, and this observation ca...

The following review provides a synthesised summary of self-regulated learning in relation to metacognition, motivation and behaviour. It provides evidence regarding the need for, and benefits of, self-regulated learning. The implications for teachers are also specified in the review. These include the importance of acknowledging the social nature of self-regulated learning and supporting learn...

Authoring a scientific paper is a complex process involving many decisions. We introduce a probabilistic model of some of the important aspects of that process: that authors have individual preferences, that writing a paper requires trading off among the preferences of authors as well as extrinsic rewards in the form of community response to their papers, that preferences (of individuals and th...

Specifically, this study aims to determine how much influence the recruitment of extrinsic reward and training on employee performance at PT. Bakrie Metal Industries simultaneously. The population is 344 employees a sample 125 taken. writer uses quantitative methods using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) with help Lisrel 8.8 software (t value > 1.96) primary data was obtained from question...
