Value Congruence as a Source of Intrinsic Motivation
基于美国某州养老院的调查与公开数据，研究发现员工与组织的价值观一致能补充决策授权、替代监督，并提升组织绩效，尤其是关系维度绩效，表明价值观一致是员工努力的内在动机来源。
Using a multisource dataset consisting of information from organizational survey and public database of nursing homes in a Midwestern state in the United States, the present study empirically investigates the relationships between employee-organization value congruence, organizational delegation of decision-making and monitoring in the workplace. The results show that value congruence between employees and the organization complements delegation of decision-making, substitutes for monitoring, and further improves organizational performance, especially which of the relational dimension. These findings suggest that value congruence can serve as a source of intrinsic motivation for employee effort and mitigate agency problems in the workplace.
