Motivation is a construct that has been studied for decades and is characterized as a driving force that boosts people to make personal efforts to achieve something. Engagement at work, on the other hand, concerns the worker's immersion in his organizational role, when expressing himself physically, cognitively, and emotionally throughout his work activity. Thus, motivation and engagement at work stand out for organizational performance. Considering this aspect, this
yresearch aims to analyze the motivation and engagement of public education workers in Federal
Institutions of Higher Education (IFES, Brazilian acronym) in the Pará State, Brazil, and to
identify the connection of constructs. For this purpose, the Work Preference Inventory (WPI)
scale was used to measure motivation, and the Utrecht Work Engagement Scale (UWES) was
used to measure work engagement. The survey method with treatment of quantitative data used
the Structural Equation Modeling. The questionnaire was applied using the SurveyMonkey®
digital platform. The results confirmed the study's hypotheses that there was an influence of
extrinsic motivation on intrinsic motivation and of extrinsic and intrinsic motivation on
engagement at work, showing that workers motivated by both internal and external reasons are
more engaged in their work activities and that organizational strategies that encourage worker
motivation are beneficial at both the individual and organizational levels. |
