General Need for Autonomy and Subjective Well-Being: A Meta-Analysis of Studies in the US and East Asia (2017, neutral): “Similarly, our results are largely consistent with those of a recent meta-analysis on BPN conducted in the work domain (Van den Broeck et al. 2016).”
Family Business Succession: What’s Motivation Got to Do With It? (2019, background): “These results echo what has been found more generally about the role of need support and need satisfaction in employee motivation (Slemp et al., 2018; Van den Broeck et al., 2016).”
Beyond intrinsic and extrinsic motivation: A meta-analysis on self-determination theory’s multidimensional conceptualization of work motivation (2021, neutral): “…types of motivation (Slemp et al., 2018); c) the relations of the different types of work motivation with the basic psychological needs at work (Van den Broeck et al., 2016); d) the relations between specific health-related motivation and health-related outcomes (e.g. smoking cessation,…”
The health-performance framework of presenteeism: Towards understanding an adaptive behaviour (2020, background): “First, work is good for health and wellbeing (Waddell and Burton, 2006), is meaningful in a range of ways (Rosso et al., 2010), and can help to fulfil basic psychological needs (Van den Broeck et al., 2016).”

Perceived Overqualification and Collectivism Orientation: Implications for Work and Nonwork Outcomes (2020, background): “Self-determination theory may prove relevant here because it discusses the importance of satisfying needs for competence, autonomy, and relatedness and what happens when these needs are frustrated (Van den Broeck et al., 2016).”
Be smart, play dumb? A transactional perspective on day-specific knowledge hiding, interpersonal conflict, and psychological strain (2021, background): “…the aftermath of interpersonal conflict might be relieving in that it might help to restore feelings of control or justice (Ambrose et al., 2002; Kelloway et al., 2010), which in turn might ease psychological strain responses (e.g., Van den Broeck et al., 2016), resulting in inconsistent mediation.”
