Zusammenfassung:This research explored the roles of intrinsic motivation (IM) and extrinsic motivation (EM) and the 2 × 2 model of achievement goals as predictors of increased work effort (WE).

The results showed that the relationship between IM and increased WE was more positive for employees with high levels of mastery‐approach goals. This observation suggests that having congruent goals may accentuate the positive relationship between IM and WE.
