[Xmca-l] Re: Intrinsic motivation?

[Maria Cristina Migliore]

Andy,

I have found this solution: objective motive is the object of the activity,
that is the strategy of production, as the CEO depicts it.
The personal sense of that motive is how that motive emerges from the older
workers' narratives of their professional and family life. It is for
example the emphasis on quality by Ms D, while her employer put the
emphasis on the quantity (I have written about Ms D in one of my previous
emails).
