HOW PERSONALITY TRAITS AND STRESS AFFECTS SELF-DETERMINATION AND MOTIVATION TO WORK
MARIE CECILIA SANTOS
ABSTRACT:
Motivation is the force that naturally drives people to act. This can be motivation coming from external factors such as grades, reputation, parent’s opinions and the like. On the other hand, it can also be motivation coming from within. These may be principles, interests and values. Also, rewards and feedback play a role in an individual’s motivation. Opportunities for self-direction such as the recognition of feelings and choices are said to create a greater feeling of autonomy or self-determination.

It may come from within, such as from people’s curiosity, interests, abiding values or care. On the other hand, it may also come from external factors such as grades, rewards, opinions, and the like. Individuals who are intrinsically motivated have high chances of being able to sustain their creativity and their passion for anything that they are doing, and being able to sustain their effort in doing a task. Effort in doing a task will lead to performance and performance will lead to rewards (Vroom, 1964). These rewards that they will get may be intrinsic or extrinsic, and may be either positive or negative. The more positive the reward is, the more that the individual will be highly motivated. Conversely, the more negative the reward is, the less likely the individual will be motivated (Vroom, 1964). Also, Edward L. Deci and Richard M. Ryan suggested in their self-determination theory that events and experiences that give a person a feeling of autonomy, relatedness and competence lead to high motivation and engagement in activities. Self-determination theory suggests that the main factors that affect and determine the level of an individual’s self-determination is the environment. It also suggests that people have the tendency to desire and work towards achieving growth, having mastery of ambient challenges and being able to use new experiences to improve self. In this paper, I discussed my proposed theory

By breaking the law, neglecting his creation, and selfishly withholding information, Frankenstein made the already miserable existence of the monster indefensible. Even the first action Victor takes in constructing his abomination is reprehensible, by breaking the law he dooms his project from the beginning. Simply animating life was not enough for Frankenstein, he had to create a “human” but not just any ordinary human, a towering 8 foot tall beast sewed together using the stolen remains of the dead. While relating the gruesome details of his conquest to Walton, Frankenstein mentions that not only did he rob graves, but he “tortured the living animal to animate the lifeless clay”. By using the graves of the poor and the backs of tortured animals as stepping stones to reach his goal, Frankenstein makes both himself and the things he creates disgusting.
