A Self-Determination Theory Perspective on the Psychological Mechanism of New Generation's Improvisational Behavior

Abstract

Abstract:

Based on the self-determination theory, focusing on changes of new generation's basic psychological needs, this study explores the influence of multilevel factors to the satisfaction of employee's psychological need when the change takes place and the decisive role of this process to improvisational behavior. And we also explore the moderating effect of individual general causality orientation on the relationship of environmental change and improvisational behavior. By revealing the psychological mechanism of employee's improvisational behavior, this study intends to provide a foundation for the organization to build a vocational development platform for the new generation.

Key words: improvisation, self-determination theory, basic psychological needs, general causality orientations
