基本心理需求滿足在領導者反應性、團體投入度和幸福感間的中介角色

Abstract

自我決定理論是一種良好的研究動機的方法，尤其應用在教育、運動、鍛鍊、健康和工作上。不過，當今的研究尚未進一步探討那些動機有助於解釋團體氣氛與團體領導者反應在幸福感上的關係。本研究使用結構方程模型（Structural Equation Modeling，簡稱SEM模型）檢驗自主、能力與連結三種基本心理需求，在團體領導者反應與團體投入度對團體參與者的幸福感之中介效應。最後結果呈現，自主、能力、連結具有完全中介效果。另一方面也發現，在團體中，夥伴間的關係相較團體領導者，對於心理需求的滿足更具有預測力。本研究提供討論和建議。

Self-determination theory is a well-studied motivational approach applied in education, sports, exercise, health, and work. However, researchers have yet to explore what motivational underpinnings help explain the relationship between group climate and leader responsiveness on well-being. The current study uses SEM to examine the mediation effect of autonomy, competence, and belongingness between student-rated leaders’ perceived responsiveness and group engagement in group participants’ well-being. Results suggest that basic psychological needs have a full mediation role. The relationship with group members is a stronger predictor of need satisfaction than the leader’s responsiveness. Discussions and recommendations are provided.
