Abstract

Using self‐determination theory, two studies found that holding an extrinsic, relative to an intrinsic, work value orientation was associated with less positive outcomes (i.e. less satisfaction with, dedication to and vitality while on the job) and more negative outcomes (i.e. higher emotional exhaustion, short‐lived satisfaction after successful goal‐attainment, and turn‐over intention). These relations were not limited to job outcomes, but also emerged using indicators of employees' general mental health. Moreover, income level did not moderate these relations. Study 2 found that holding an extrinsic, relative to an intrinsic, work value orientation was detrimental to employees' job outcomes because these orientations thwarted the satisfaction of the basic psychological needs for autonomy, competence and relatedness at work.

  • The paper relies on this without support.

    No previous study in industrial and organizational psychology has examined the mechanisms underlying the relations between employees' extrinsic relative to intrinsic work value orientations and job outcomes.

    “To our knowledge, no previous study in industrial and organizational psychology has examined the mechanisms that underlie the relations between employees' extrinsic, relative to intrinsic, work value orientations and job outcomes.”
  • The paper relies on this without support.

    No study has directly examined whether the relation of extrinsic relative to intrinsic work value pursuit to job outcomes can be accounted for by need satisfaction.

    “Unfortunately, no study has directly examined whether the relation of extrinsic, relative to intrinsic, work value pursuit to job outcomes can be accounted for by need satisfaction.”
  • The paper relies on this without support.

    The impact of extrinsic relative to intrinsic work values on outcomes with a more negative tone has been under-explored.

    “because the impact of extrinsic, relative to intrinsic, work values on outcomes that have a more negative tone has been under-explored”
  • The paper relies on this without support.

    No prior study has directly examined the mediating role of basic psychological needs in the relation between extrinsic vs. intrinsic values and well-being/adjustment.

    “but, to our knowledge, no single study to date has directly examined this issue.”
  • The paper relies on this without support.

    In its current form, self-determination theory treats only autonomy, relatedness and competence as basic needs.

    “The current formulation of SDT only considers autonomy, relatedness and competence as basic needs.”
  • The paper relies on this without support.

    Self-determination theory focuses on how differences between individuals and within individuals over time in need satisfaction affect outcomes, and it studies the personality and social-contextual sources of basic need satisfaction.

    “In contrast, SDT looks at the effects of inter-individual (and intra-individual or day-to-day) differences in need satisfaction and examines the personality and social-contextual antecedents of basic need satisfaction.”

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.

A language model drew the claims from the paper on 2026-10-05, under version 3 of the claim definition (model deepseek-v4.1-flash, prompt extract-v3).

A second model labelled each claim on 2026-10-05 (model jev-1.13-20260917, definition revision gold-guideline-v0.2).

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.
