Entrepreneurial Motivations: What Do We Still Need to Know? (2011, background): “The motive to avoid failure has been found to be relatively stable (Deci 1975) and the emotions of shame and embarrassment accompanying failure as an entrepreneur are greater the easier the task.”
Restorative Justice and Procedural Justice: Dealing with Rule Breaking (2006, background): “If people have internal motivations, such as social values, the role of those values in shaping the behavior is " crowded out, " and becomes less important (Deci, 1975; Frey, 1994).”
The Concept of Flow (2014, background): “When in flow, the individual operates at full capacity (cf. de Charms, 1968; Deci, 1975; White, 1959).”
Defining Media Enjoyment as the Satisfaction of Intrinsic Needs (2010, background): “Past research specifies three such needs: autonomy, a sense of volition or willingness when doing a task (Deci & Ryan, 2000); competence, a need for challenge and feelings of effectance (Deci, 1975); and relatedness, a need to feel connected with others (Ryan & Deci, 2001).”
Psychological empowerment and organizational commitment: the moderating effect of organizational learning culture (2010, background): “Thomas and Velthous (1990) developed the cognitive elements of empowerment based on the cognitive motivational content of Deci (1975), Hackman and Oldham (1976), and Bandura (1977, 1986).”
Self-Leadership: A Multilevel Review (2011, background): “Based on cognitive evaluation theory (Deci & Ryan, 1985), Manz (1986) argued that self-leadership behavior at the individual level will be sustained more by intrinsic rewards such as feelings of competence, self-control, and purpose than by external rewards such as praise and recognition that often ”

(2004, background): “A large body of experimental and field research stemming from SDT has supported various parts of the proposed model (e.g., Chirkov & Ryan, 2001; Deci, 1975; Deci, Eghari, Patrick, & Leone, 1994; Deci & Ryan, 2000; Grolnick & Ryan, 1989; Ryan & Deci, 2000; Vallerand & Reid, 1984).”
1 Moving Beyond Schumpeter: Management Research on the Determinants of Technological Innovation (2008, background): “Theories from social psychology (Deci, 1975) and behavioral economics (Benabou & Tirole, 2003) suggest that extrinsic motivation devices such as performance based rewards crowd out intrinsic motivations.”
Creativity as a Matter of Choice: Prior Experience and Task Instruction as Boundary Conditions for the Positive Effect of Choice on Creativity (2008, background): “The main psychological mechanism that underlies these findings is that choice confers selfdetermination and intrinsic motivation — key ingredients for creative performance (e.g., Deci & Ryan, 1985; Deci, 1975; Deci, 1981; Amabile, 1983,1988, 1990).”
