Resumo(s)
Employee motivation is seen as a success factor for corporate innovation. This study focused
in understanding how some Portuguese companies are motivating their employees to innovate
in the workplace, with a special focus on intrinsic motivation. This form of motivation reflects
one’s inherent pleasure in performing a certain activity, without any external reward. The
results of the study show that employees in Portugal are mostly motivated by task enjoyment
and personal development, both reflecting a form of intrinsic motivation. When motivated by
task enjoyment, individuals tend to invest more effort in their activities, and thus develop more
innovative work behaviors.
