This paper illustrates application of the model of human occupation in the long term rehabilitation of a German worker who suffered a stroke. The case shows the importance of assessing and addressing not only performance, but also volition and habituation. As such it illustrates a holistic approach to providing work related rehabilitation.

The author considers the methodology to control staff motivation abroad on example of the USA, Japan and Europe. The concept of work motivation is studied. The classification of motivation mechanisms into material and immaterial is given. General components of a modern universal approach to motivation are formulated. The native component of the motivation process is analysed. The ways to borrow foreign management practice are proposed.

Aims To adapt the four-dimensional Gambling Motives Questionnaire-Revised (GMQ-R) to measure the motivation for engaging in electronic gaming, and to validate the internal structure and investigate the criterion validity of the new Electronic Gaming Motives Questionnaire (EGMQ). Design and setting The GMQ-R was adapted to measure motivation for playing video games and the new instrument was tested on a sample of Norwegian conscripts selected randomly from the pool of conscripts who started their military service between 2013 and 2015. Participants The questionnaire was administered to all those who had played video games during the last 6 months and consisted of 853 gamers (86.8% men, mean age = 19.4 years). Measurements All participants completed the EGMQ, as well as other measures of gaming behaviour, gaming problems, boredom, loneliness and depression. Findings The confirmatory factor analyses showed that the proposed EGMQ (measuring enhancement, coping, social and self-gratification motives) displayed satisfactory fit and internal consistency. Hierarchical regression analyses showed that gender emerged as a significant predictor (P < 0.001) of all the dependent variables (variety, hours weekly gaming, loss of control and gaming problems) and the first step explained between 1 and 6.1% of the variance in the gaming behaviours. In the second step the four motivational dimensions explained an additional 5.8-38.8% of the variance. Coping and self-gratification predicted gaming problems (P < 0.001) and coping alone predicted loss of control (P < 0.001). The four motivational dimensions were also predicted differentially by indicators of psychosocial wellbeing, indicating divergent validity of the four motives. Conclusions The four-dimensional Electronic Gaming Motives Questionnaire is a valid instrument for measuring motives for gaming.

The goal of this article was to provide a long-overdue clarification and upgrade to what has been called the intrinsic-extrinsic dichotomy in the realm of motivation. We argue that the concept of intrinsic motivation should be limited to referring to the pleasure gained from an activity, divorced from any further elements. It means liking the doing. The term has been confounded with a different type of motivation, which is properly labeled achievement motivation and which refers to competition against some standard of excellence (subconscious or conscious). Achievement motivation means wanting to do well. One can like doing something and not care about how well one does it. Conversely, one can strive to do well even if one does not like an activity. The 3rd type of motivation, known as extrinsic motivation, has been focused heavily on the effect of withdrawing a monetary incentive. We argue that this focus is far too narrow and that extrinsic motivation should be generally defined as doing something as a means to an end. It means doing something now in order to get something later. Nor should money be regarding as "controlling," because people routinely make many choices in the realm of money. We suggest a research program on the 3 types of motivation, their possible interrelationships, and their outcomes. We hope to spark a discussion and invite comments on this article.

The article introduces the results of studying the motivation types of professional activity that promote work satisfaction of "Ivushka" furniture factory employees. The subjects of the test have been classified into two groups: sales managers and workshop workers. The concept of K. Zamfir, F. Herzberg's dual-factor theory, and the Expectancy theory of V. Vrum are of scientific interest for the conducted study. The authors identify the correlation between the internal motivation of the employees of both groups and their work satisfaction. The last depends on the content of activity and availability of interest to it.

A unified model of human motivation has been recently introduced that integrates all prior “mini-theories” of motivation into a single, symmetrical model based on first principles: four life domains crossed by three levels of attainment, resulting in 12 discrete motivations. Evidence from a series of studies using a novel image-based method is used to test structural hypotheses derived from a unified model of human motivation.The studies employ large samples (810n to 986n) of working adults who conducted a time-constrained image-based exercise to measure the relative presence or absence of different emotional needs.These studies provide support for the theoretical model, suggesting that there is substantial heuristic and practical value in a structured framework of motivating needs.Findings suggest that our theoretical model reflects deep interrelationships between discrete types of human motivation, and by linking specific measures to a comprehensive model of human motivation, researchers can have confidence that they have adequately measured the motivation construct.

Implicit motive research has shown that implicit motives are important predictors of behavior and well-being. However, little is known about the interrelationship between the different implicit motives measures frequently applied. We aimed to shed light on the convergent validity of three implicit motive measures and wanted to test their assumed statistical independence from three explicit motive measures. Therefore, we administered the picture story exercise (PSE), the operant motive test (OMT), and the multi-motive grid in one and the same study. As explicit measures, we used the personality research form, the motive enactment test, and a goal questionnaire. We investigated the statistical overlaps between all these measures (sample: 202 undergraduate students) and found that the implicit motive measures showed either no or only little correlation with each other. Furthermore, they also partly correlated with explicit motive measures. Supplementary analyses showed that the lack of statistical overlap between PSE and OMT can partly be ascribed to their different scoring systems.

In studies of motivational regulation, motivational regulation strategies to maintain motivation have been examined while the strategies to initiate motivation have been overlooked. In this study, motivational regulation strategies for initiating motivation (motivation initiating strategies) were examined and the Motivation Initiating Strategy Scale was developed. In study 1,based on open-ended questionnaire to collect the strategies that learners usually use, items were selected for the scale. Using exploratory factor analysis, 5 motivation initiating strategies subscales were extracted. In study 2, the validity of the scale was examined by confirmatory factor analysis and correlations and partial correlations with intrinsic motivation, extrinsic motivation, achievement goal and reliability were examined by test-retest correlations and internal consistencies for subscales. Both the validity and reliability were demonstrated in order to measure motivation initiating strategies. The results of this study suggest that motivation initiating strategies contain some of the same strategies as motivation maintaining strategies, and indicate the possibility that the structures and roles in the motivational regulation of the initiating and maintaining strategies are different.

The category of framed correspondences Fr-*(k) and framed sheaves were invented by Voevodsky in his unpublished notes [Notes on framed correspondences, 2001, https://www.math.ias.edu/vladimir/publications]. Based on the theory, framed motives are introduced and studied in Garkusha and Panin [J. Amer. Math. Soc. 34 (2021), pp. 261-313]. These are Nisnivich sheaves of S-1-spectra and the major computational tool of Garkusha and Panin. The aim of this paper is to show the following result which is essential in proving the main theorem of Garkusha and Panin: given an infinite perfect base field k, any k-smooth scheme X and any n >= 1, the map of simplicial pointed Nisnevich sheaves (-, A(1)//G(m))(+)(boolean AND n) -> T-n induces a Nisnevich local level weak equivalence of S-1-spectra
