The role of affective experience in work motivation: Test of a conceptual model
检验了一个概念模型，探讨核心情感如何通过期望、效价和进展判断影响工作动机的行为结果（如努力和坚持），发现愉悦感与这些结果正相关，激活则直接影响努力。
The purpose of this paper was to contribute to understanding of the crucial role of emotion in work motivation by testing a conceptual model developed by Seo, Barrett, and Bartunek (2004) that predicted the impacts of core affect on three behavioral outcomes of work motivation, generative-defensive orientation, effort, and persistence. We tested the model using an Internet-based investment simulation combined with an experience sampling procedure. Consistent with the predictions of the model, pleasantness was positively related to all three of the predicted indices. For the most part, these effects occurred indirectly via its relationships with expectancy, valence, and progress judgment components. Also as predicted by the model, activation was directly and positively related to effort.
