The Role of Autonomy Support in the Development of Passion
Abstract
This chapter focuses on the crucial role that autonomy-supportive social environments play in the development of passion toward work. It provides an overview of self-determination theory and how basic psychological needs can be fulfilled or thwarted by one’s working environment. The importance of autonomy-supportive environments, and what they entail, in the initial and ongoing development of passion are highlighted, with research, both in the work and nonwork domains, in support. Finally, practical applications of this relationship between autonomy-supportive work environments and the development of a more intense and healthier form of passion toward work are also discussed, mainly in terms of leaders’ training.

Autonomy-supportive behaviors promote students' volitional functioning and encourage self-determination, making them feel competent and connected, catering to all three psychological needs.
“Autonomy-supportive behaviors promote students’ volitional functioning (Carpentier & Mageau, 2019; Reeve & Jang, 2006): these are empathy, providing information, and supporting active participation.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
