Cognitive evaluation theory, which explains the effects of extrinsic motivators on intrinsic motivation, received some initial attention in the organizational literature. However, the simple dichotomy between intrinsic and extrinsic motivation made the theory difficult to apply to work settings. Differentiating extrinsic motivation into types that differ in their degree of autonomy led to self-...

Interconnected power system networks are multi loop structured. Settings determination of all over current and distance relays in such networks can be in different forms and complicated. The main problem is the determination of starting points i.e. the location of starting relays in the procedure for settings, which is referred to as break points. In this paper, a new approach based on graph th...

Employees' failures to follow information security policy can be costly to organizations, causing organizations to implement security controls to motivate secure behavior. Information security research has explored many control-related motivations (e.g., self-efficacy, response efficacy, and behavioral control) in the context of ISP compliance; however, the behavioral effects of perceptions of ...

In the contemporary measurement theory, the new methods of accuracy determination are still investigated. It is possible, that the theory of uncertainty is a universal tool for the estimation of accuracy [1, 2]. This theory allows for the analysis of random interactions, even if the measurement model is strongly nonlinear. According to the theory of uncertainty, the standard uncertainty plays t...

Objectives: The aim of the present study was to examine the patterns of association of self-determination theory variables with exercise role identity and exercise beliefs as parts of exercise identity among men and women. Design: A cross-sectional study in which perceived autonomy support by the exercise instructor, basic psychological needs, behavioral regulations, and exercise identity were ...
