Abstrakt

Zaprezentowane w artykule badanie miało na celu ujawnienie wpływu na wytrwałość i skuteczność działania – z jednej strony – kontekstu sytuacyjnego (kontrola vs autonomia), z drugiej strony – różnic indywidualnych w sprawności mechanizmów kontroli działania – sile woli. Podstawę teoretyczną operacjonalizacji zmiennych niezależnych stanowiły teoria autodeterminacji (Self Determination Theory) Ryana i Deci oraz koncepcja siły woli Kuhla. Uzyskane w badaniu rezultaty (N = 120) potwierdziły interakcyjne oddziaływanie określonych sposobów motywowania (presja vs pozytywne zaangażowanie) oraz różnic w sprawności mechanizmów kontroli działania na przyjęte w badaniu wskaźniki skuteczności i wytrwałości. Osoby zorientowane na stan uzyskały najwyższe rezultaty wytrwałości i skuteczności w warunkach presji, zewnętrznej kontroli. Osoby zorientowane na działanie w mniejszym stopniu podlegają różnicom w sposobie motywowania (kontrola vs autonomia), ale jednocześnie w warunkach nasilenia zarówno presji, jak i pozytywnego oddziaływania wykazały one istotnie niższe wskaźniki wytrwałości i skuteczności. Istotne różnice między osobami zorientowanymi na stan i na działanie ujawniły się w kontekście stwarzającym presję i wzbudzającym poczucie autonomii. W warunkach presji wyższe wyniki w zakresie wytrwałości i zarazem skuteczności uzyskiwały osoby zorientowane na stan, w warunkach autonomii – wyższe wyniki osiągnęły osoby zorientowane na działanie.
