Nowadays, organisational competitiveness depends on its
effectiveness, versatility and the ability to respond to customer
needs. Thus, companies look for flexibility in human resources as a
means of attaining an economic advantage. In fact, the increasing
recourse to contingent work may be regarded as more than an
economic matter; it can be considered a reflex of an actual social
change. Moreover, contingent workers are no longer confined to
peripheral activities. Today, it is common to find temporary and
permanent employees working alongside each other in technical jobs.
However, what is it that drives these workers and how do their
motivations fall in with the success of such new work arrangements?
By following the principles of the Self Determination Theory (SDT),
the authors' will show that human motivations, in all kinds of
workers, are the result of a complex interplay between individuals'
autonomy and its internal and external regulation, proving that
elevated forms of motivation (ie: intrinsic motivation and
identified regulation), provided by autonomous environments, lead
to more adaptive, cognitive and affective outcomes. Additionally,
this book will show how it may be possible to transform suboptimal
forms of motivation into more self-determined ones. We will show
that minor, repeated events can lead to gradual and internalised
behaviors, which allow people to experience more adaptive outcomes
and attain higher motivation towards their job. In other words,
positive work experiences will be shown as being capable of
captivating and engaging individuals, leading them to consider
their choices as more voluntary and autonomous. How contingent
workers' motivation can change over time may actually be crucial to
better comprehend and improve their employment relationship.
