Abstract:

This study investigated possible reciprocal relationships between illegitimate tasks and intrinsic motivation and whether appreciation moderated these relationships. Based on a two-wave panel study across one week and a sample of 366 nurses, we examined whether appreciation buffered effects of illegitimate tasks on reduced intrinsic motivation; or enhanced reversed effects of intrinsic motivation on decreased perceived illegitimate tasks. Additionally, we differentiated whether illegitimate tasks and appreciation were elicited by supervisors, colleagues, or patients. Latent structural equation analyses primarily revealed effects for unnecessary than for unreasonable tasks. Such tasks were predominantly the consequence rather than the cause of intrinsic motivation and intrinsic motivation increased perceived illegitimate tasks under conditions of low appreciation. Regarding the different sources, most effects were present for illegitimate tasks ascribed by supervisors and for appreciation conveyed by patients. It follows that the perception of illegitimate tasks seems to be a matter of motivation; that the sources of illegitimate tasks and appreciation matter; and that appreciation as a low-budget, but highly powerful practice, is able to facilitate a positive environment where work tasks are less likely to be perceived as illegitimate.

The Australian Research Council (ARC) is funding a project, titled Tranquillising Work Stress: Corporate Climate and Antidepressant. Researchers are UNISA Professor Maureen Dollard (chief investigator), UniSA Adjunct Professor Christian Dormann,  Adjunct Professor Anne Taylor from the University of Adelaide, and Professor Nicholas Glozier from the University of Sydney. The study aims to investigate the link between distress at work and antidepressant use, through novel linkage of Australian Workplace Barometer (longitudinal interview data spanning 10 years) and national Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme (antidepressant medication) data. This project expects to advance theory in the field, by testing the primary, secondary and tertiary role that Psychosocial Safety Climate plays in disrupting the link between work factors, mental health and antidepressant use. The project will yield benefits regarding points of intervention to prevent mental ill-health progress, and will estimate societal costs ($) of antidepressant medication due to work factors to stimulate preventive workplace action.
