Abstract

Objective: Today, work as a social identity plays an important role in success, health, and well-being. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between self-determined motivation and psychological well-being, and well-being in life and workplace.
Method: The participants of this study consisted of 246 employees of Marun Oil and Gas Producing Company in Khuzestan in 2020, who were selected through stratified random sampling method. The instruments used in the study were Multidimensional Work Motivation Scale (Gagné et al., 2015), and Employee Well-being Scale (Zheng et al., 2015). Canonical correlation and multiple regression analysis were used for data analysis through SPSS-24.
Results: The results showed that among the three dimensions of job motivation, autonomous motivation with a structural coefficient of 0.94, and among the components of employee well-being, workplace well-being with a structural coefficient of 0.99, have the most relationship with the first fundamental variable from independent and dependent variables. According to the results of simultaneous regression analysis, autonomous motivation was the most important predictor for psychological well-being (β=0.45, p=0.000), life well-being (β=0.30, p=0.001), and workplace well-being (β=0.45, p=0.000). Amotivation could predict workplace well-being (β= -0.34, p=0.000). However, controlled motivation could not predict any component of employee well-being.
Conclusion: Based on the findings, autonomous motivation was the most important predictor of psychological, life, and workplace well-being. Therefore, it is recommended that organizations provide opportunity for development of this type of motivation.

Abstract [Persian]

هدف: امروزه کار به عنوان یک هویت اجتماعی نقش مهمی در موفقیت، سلامت و بهزیستی ایفا می کند. هدف پژوهش حاضر بررسی رابطه بین انگیزش خودتعیینی با بهزیستی روان‌شناختی، بهزیستی در زندگی و بهزیستی در محیط کار بود.روش: شرکت‌کنندگان در این پژوهش شامل 246 نفر از کارکنان شرکت تولید و بهره‌برداری نفت و گاز مارون در خوزستان در سال 1399 بودند که به روش نمونه‌گیری تصادفی طبقه‌ای انتخاب شدند. ابزارهای مورد استفاده در این پژوهش عبارت بودند از: مقیاس انگیزش شغلی چندبُعدی (گاگنه و همکاران، 2015) و مقیاس بهزیستی کارکنان (ژنگ و همکاران، 2015). تحلیل داده‌ها با استفاده از تحلیل همبستگی کانونی و رگرسیون چندگانه و با کمک نرم‌افزار SPSS-24 انجام شد.یافته‌ها: نتایج نشان داد که از میان سه بُعد انگیزش شغلی، انگیزش خودمختار با ضریب ساختاری 94/0 و از بین مؤلفه‌های بهزیستی کارکنان، بهزیستی محیط کار با ضریب ساختاری 99/0، واجد بیشترین ارتباط با اولین متغیر بنیادی حاصل از متغیرهای مستقل و وابسته می‌باشند. با توجه به نتایج تحلیل رگرسیون همزمان، انگیزش خودمختار مهم‌ترین پیش‌بین برای بهزیستی روان‌شناختی (000/0p=، 45/0β=)، بهزیستی در زندگی (001/0p=، 30/0β=) و بهزیستی محیط کار (000/0p=، 45/0β=) بود. بی‌انگیزگی تنها پیش‌بینی‌کننده بهزیستی در محیط کار بود (000/0p=، 34/0- β=). با این حال، انگیزش کنترل‌شده قادر به پیش‌بینی هیچ یک از مؤلفه‌های بهزیستی کارکنان نبوده است.نتیجه‌گیری: براساس نتایج پژوهش حاضر، انگیزش خودمختار مهم‌ترین پیش‌بین برای بهزیستی روان‌شناختی، بهزیستی در زندگی و بهزیستی در محیط کار است. بنابراین، پیشنهاد می‌شود که با انجام اقدامات لازم، سازمان‌ها بتوانند شرایط را برای ایجاد این نوع از انگیزش فراهم کنند.
