Dear colleagues,
If you are interested in work motivation and well-being, please join us for this interesting symposium that provides a Self-Determination Theory (SDT) perspective on issues of work motivation in the age of AI and flexible work. SDT has become the most researched and cited theory of motivation and well-being within psychology, with hundreds of studies published every year, and it is increasingly applied also to organizational behavior.
Enhancing Work Motivation in the Age of AI and Flexibility - A SDT Perspective
Join us for our symposium at AOM 2025, where we explore how Self-Determination Theory (SDT) helps us understand and support motivation in the evolving world of work. As AI, flexible work, and algorithmic management reshape work environments, SDT offers a powerful lens on how autonomy, competence, and relatedness can be supported - or frustrated - in modern organizations.
