Autonomy and task performance: Explaining the impact of grades on intrinsic motivation.

From Strategy to Action: Transforming Organizational Goals into Organizational Behavior (2018, unknown): “The enhanced competence effect offsets negative effects on autonomy, yielding an overall weaker negative effect of rewards on intrinsic motivation (Houlfort et al. 2002).”
