Intrinsic Motivation & Performance Meta-Analysis: Call for Unpublished Research

  • 1.  Intrinsic Motivation & Performance Meta-Analysis: Call for Unpublished Research

    Posted 02-13-2010 17:16
    Hello All,

    My name is Chris and I’m currently a researcher in the
    Industrial-Organizational psychology department at the University at
    Albany in Upstate New York. I would like to put forward a request for
    unpublished research on intrinsic motivation and performance. More
    specifically, my research team is looking for any empirical study
    reporting a relationship between intrinsic motivation (and related
    components, e.g., autonomy, relatedness, competence, task
    satisfaction/enjoyment, interest, etc.) and performance (behavior with an
    evaluative component, i.e., work performance, academic performance,
    political performance, athletic performance, etc).

    Preferred data would include correlation matrices (along with
    reliabilities, means, sample sizes, and standard deviations), along with
    descriptions of your sample and instruments used. However, we welcome any
    unpublished data (e.g., technical reports, raw data, unpublished
    dissertations/theses) that report a relationship between the variables of
    interest (even if the original article was itself published but your data
    were not).

    Although we can offer little more than our gratitude for your assistance,
    we will cite all viable data we receive in a comprehensive meta-analysis
    that is quickly nearing completion.

    Thank you and best wishes!

    Chris
