Three Roles of Language in Motivation Theory
从组织沟通视角出发，提出动机理论应扩展包含三种言语行为：减少不确定性的行为、创造意义的行为和建立人际纽带的行为，并探讨它们对员工动机的影响。
Motivation theories, when viewed from the perspective of one versed in organizational communication, focus on language that informs and that reduces worker uncertainty. An extension of current theories to include the impact of three kinds of speech acts—uncertainty-reducing acts (perlocutionary), meaning-making acts (locutionary), and human-bonding acts (illocutionary)—on motivation is proposed.
