Self-determination is an important concept when considering the human motivation to work and perform. Self-determination theory (SDT) explains the human motivation, and according to Edward Deci, it is "the energy for action. It gets us up in the morning and moves us through the day". Motivation allows us to make personal choices based on survival, integration, and work with others and allows us to feel we have control over the direction of our lives. In this episode, we explore motivation to work from the perspective of self-determination theory and look at how internally generated motivation is healthier and more sustainable than externally generated motivation. In this sense, commanding our own work seems consistent with self-determination theory.
