Motivation, Implication and Autonomy at Work

Abstract

From two populations of the same institution not having the same level of autonomy in their respective positions, one makes the assumption that a  larger autonomy increases motivation, satisfaction and implication at work, this one referring to the intrinsic aspects of the activity rather than to  extrinsic dimensions. It is also verified that the aspects relating to autonomy vary according to the type of work and reflect a specific form of relation to work. The study concerns a sample of 230 employees on which a multivariate model is tested by the means of a series of regressions and then using confirmatory techniques basing on the content analysis. The results go in the sense of the previous research and consequently confirm
the formulated assumptions. The adequacy of the ideal model is confirmed by the confirmatory analysis carried out with the software SPSS.

Key Words: autonomy, working position, satisfaction, implication.
