Abstract:

Evidence from the evolution of human cultural behavior and learning, embryology and genetics of the brain, and the behavior of human infants indicates that the critical and uniquely human motives for cooperative imagination and joint interest in objects and tasks are determined by expression of genes and epigenetic neural systems elaboration long before birth, along with essential peripheral organs of perception and motor expression that will serve in communication by rhythmic facial, vocal, gestural, and body movement signals. These cerebral motives continue to exercise their influence on neu

In 2019, PT Reckitt Benckiser Indonesia conducted research on 1500 adolescents in five major cities of Indonesia, namely Jakarta, Bandung, Medan, Surabaya and Yogyakarta. The study found that 33 percent of adolescents have had sex outside of marriage and 58 percent of them are aged 18 to 20 years. In every human behavior there is always a motive in it. According to Alfred Schutz, there are two types of motives, namely the objective motive and the cause motive. This study uses a qualitative research method with a phenomenological approach.

Abstract:

A relatively new theory of motivation posits that purposeful human behavior may be partly explained by multidimensional individual differences “traits of action” (motives). Its 15 motives can be characterized according to their purpose: individual integrity, competitiveness, and cooperativeness. Existing evidence supports the model on which the motives are based and the reliability and validity of strategies to assess them. This experiment tested whether the hypothetical results of consistent, motivated cooperative and competitive behavior could affect ratings of attractiveness. Male and femal

Abstract:

Job-hopping is the practice of making frequent voluntary job changes. Integrating theory and research from career and organizational turnover research, two distinct motives for job-hopping were proposed. The escape motive describes frequently changing jobs to escape disliked work environments, whereas the advancement motive describes frequently changing jobs as a means of career advancement. A self-report measure of job-hopping motives was developed and validated using responses from 221 students and 1,528 adults. Factor analysis showed that the motives are distinct but moderately related. The

Implicit Motives are non-conscious needs that drive human behavior towards the achievement of incentives that are affectively incited. Repeated affective experiences providing satisfying rewards have been held responsible for the building of Implicit Motives. Responses to rewarding experiences have a biological basis via close connections with neurophysiological systems controlling neurohormone release. We propose an iteration random function system acting in a metric space to model experience–reward interactions. This model is based on key facts of Implicit Motive theory reported in a broad n

Abstract:

An unresolved question in visionary leadership research is, why must visions be high in imagery to cause affective reactions and be motivationally effective? Research in motivation psychology has shown that pictorial cues arouse implicit motives. Thus, pictorial cues from vision-induced imagery should arouse a follower’s implicit motives just like a real image. Hence, our fundamental proposition is that follower implicit motives and follower approach motivation serially mediate the relationship between leader vision and followers’ vision pursuit.

We argue that our approach can be generalized to more complex simulations of human behavior.

Abstract:

Prosocial behaviors play a pivotal role for human societies, shaping critical domains such as healthcare, education, taxation, and welfare. Despite the ubiquity of norms that prescribe prosocial actions, individuals do not adhere to them consistently but often behave selfishly, thereby harming the collective good. Interventions to promote prosociality would therefore be beneficial but are often ineffective because we lack a thorough understanding of the various motives that govern prosocial behavior across different contexts. Here we present a computational and experimental framework to identi

Abstract:

Rose erroneously believes that the sciences of human behavior are being swept with a wave of genetic determinism. Actually, sociologists and psychologists remain predominantly hostile to any genetic influence on behavior. They will love Rose. The few behavior geneticists and sociobiologists in these disciplines are marginalized and looking for a little respect. Rose impugns their motives and ridicules their science.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to provide insights into the practice of demotion. This study aims to do so in two ways: first, by investigating Belgian HR professionals’ key motives for practicing and not practicing demotion and second, by examining the reasons why HR professionals choose for these specific motives. Design/methodology/approach The explanatory mixed methods design is used: survey data are analyzed through cluster analysis resulting in insights into the motives for practicing demotion.

Abstract:

This study explores the impact of McClelland's social motives on entrepreneurial orientation (EO) and knowledge management behaviour (KMB), examining EO's mediating role in this relationship. Utilising a sample of 302 employees from Greater Jakarta, data were collected through online surveys and analysed using partial least square structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM). The findings reveal that social motives significantly influence EO, positively impacting KMB. The study underscores the importance of fostering a workplace culture that supports social motives such as achievement, power, and af

Abstract:

Aggressive driving behavior is a global phenomenon that is occurring with increasing frequency. This form of on-road behavior increases risk and, consequently, the number of traffic accidents with human victims. The main aim in this study was to determine the relationships between motivation and attitudes, and between driving anger and aggression. The sample consisted of 137 men and 123 women. Our results showed that the prediction of driving anger was not highly dependent on motives and attitudes, and driving anger was likely due to other determinants (e.g., personality traits, on-road frustr

Abstract:

Rodriguez-Blanco examines Enrico Pattaro’s effort to explain the normativeness or binding force of the law. Pattaro defends the controversial claim that norms are motives of behaviour and provides a rich explanation of how these motives, i.e., beliefs in the human brain, move human agency. In her review, Rodriguez-Blanco challenges Pattaro’s empirical conception of human agency.

ABSTRACT Using 4,838 annual CEO letters to shareholders for 397 S&P 500 companies from the period 1993 to 2010, this paper examines how CEO implicit motives impact a firm's financial performance. The results show that after controlling for firm and year fixed effects, financial performance increases with a CEO's need for power and decreases with a CEO's need for achievement and need for affiliation. Implicit motives play a significant role in the determination of what makes each CEO unique, and they have persistent effects, even three years after being initially measured. The practical sig
