Abstract

Motivation can have paradoxical effects on the performance of projects and their outcomes. The aim of this study is to develop an effective system of motivation in the context of project-based organisations. The responses were captured through a four-round of online-Delphi. The study finds a strong reciprocal relationship between the motivation at individual level and motivation at team level, since the sub-objectives that individuals pursue are likely to be strongly related to each other and contribute to the goal that the team mutually generates and pursues. Motivation at individual and team level is correspondingly consistent in terms of three main aspects: goal-generation, goal-striving and motivational-states. Thus, an inclusive conceptualisation of motivation within the project team requires a multilevel-approach of horizontal and vertical alignments of motivational objectives and practices. This could be attained by developing an appropriate project structure and team process that can maximise individuals' contributions and minimise the inter-conflict.

动机悖论:一项德尔菲研究,目的是在基于项目的组织背景下,就个人与团队的动机达成共识
动机会对项目的绩效和结果产生矛盾的影响。本研究的目的是在以项目为基础的组织的背景下开发一个有效的激励系统。这些回答是通过四轮在线德尔福调查收集的。研究发现,个体层面的动机和团队层面的动机之间存在很强的互惠关系,因为个体追求的子目标可能彼此之间存在很强的相关性,并有助于团队共同产生和追求的目标。个人和团队层面的动机相应地在三个主要方面是一致的:目标产生、目标奋斗和动机状态。因此,在项目团队中对动机进行包容性概念化需要对动机目标和实践进行水平和垂直对齐的多层次方法。这可以通过开发适当的项目结构和团队过程来实现,这些结构和过程可以最大化个人的贡献并最小化内部冲突。
