differences in Motivational Orientation in foreign language learning context findings from filipino foreign language learners
Social Science Research Network, 2011Co-Authors: Richard Dlc GonzalesAbstract:The primary purpose of this study is to find out the degree of which Motivational Orientation differentiates learners in a foreign language (FL) learning context, particularly in the Philippines. The secondary purpose of this study is to determine differences in the Motivational Orientation of Filipino FL learners using the Foreign Language Learning Motivation Questionnaire and to investigate variables such as age group, gender, FL being learned and length of study of FL could influence differentiation in the Motivational Orientation of FL learning among Filipino students. Accordingly, it was hypothesized that the variables included in this study could differentiate Motivational Orientation of FL learners. The participants of this study included 150 students who had elected to study FL from three major universities in Metro Manila. Eighty of the participants are females (53.3%), while 70 are males (46.7%). The data were cross- sectional in nature with 26 learning Chinese (17.3%), 40 learning French (26.7%), 50 learning Japanese (33.3%) and 34 learning Spanish (22.7%). Results revealed Motivational differences between younger and older FL learners, between male and female learners, and among learners of different FL. Younger learners were found to be more motivated towards cultural understanding, cultural integration and self-satisfaction. Females are more Motivationally oriented than males in communication and affiliation and self-efficacy. Japanese language learners are more Motivationally oriented toward career and economic enhancement, French language learners towards affiliation with foreigners, and Spanish language learners towards self-efficacy. The study recommends some instructional and pedagogical strategies for teaching language subjects.

Motivational Orientation in foreign language learning the case of filipino foreign language learners
Social Science Research Network, 2010Co-Authors: Richard Dlc GonzalesAbstract:The main purpose of this research is to determine the extent of which motivation differentiates foreign language (FL) learners. The secondary purpose of this study is to compare motivation of Filipino FL learners using the Foreign Language Learning Motivation Questionnaire and to investigate whether age group, sex, FL being learned and length of studying of FL could influence differentiation in the motivation of FL learning among Filipino students. Thus, it was hypothesized that the variables included in this study could differentiate motivation of FL learners. The participants of this study were 150 students who had elected to study foreign languages from three universities in Metro Manila. Eighty of the participants are females (53.3%), while 70 are males (46.7%). Data were cross-sectional in nature with 26 learning Chinese (17.3%), 40 learning French (26.7%), 50 learning Japanese (33.3%) and 34 learning Spanish (22.7%). Results show that younger learners Motivational Orientation is towards cultural understanding, cultural integration and self-satisfaction. Females are more Motivationally oriented than males towards communication and affiliation and self-efficacy. Japanese language learners are more Motivationally oriented towards career and economic enhancement, French language learners towards affiliation with foreigners, and Spanish language learners towards self-efficacy. The study recommends some instructional and pedagogical strategies for teaching foreign languages.

it goes without saying the effects of intrinsic Motivational Orientation leadership emphasis of intrinsic goals and audit issue ambiguity on speaking up
Contemporary Accounting Research, 2019Co-Authors: Kathryn Kadous, Chad A Proell, Jay S Rich, Yuepin ZhouAbstract:Regulation requires auditors to raise significant audit issues and concerns to the attention of audit engagement leadership and requires leadership to encourage such communication. This research demonstrates, using an experiment and a survey, that audit team members' willingness to speak up about such issues is associated with their intrinsic Motivational Orientation. Based on this result, we test whether audit leadership can leverage this relationship to increase speaking up, particularly when audit issues are more ambiguous, by emphasizing intrinsic goals. Results across three additional experiments indicate that auditors whose leaders emphasize intrinsic goals, whether directly or through tone at the top and firm culture, are more likely to speak up than are other auditors. We also find that auditors are more likely to speak up when an audit issue is less versus more ambiguous. We conclude that leadership can fulfill their obligation to encourage upward communication by emphasizing intrinsic versus extrinsic goals, regardless of the level of ambiguity surrounding the audit issue. Les repercussions de l'Orientation des motivations intrinseques, de l'insistance des responsables sur les buts intrinseques et de l'ambiguite des problemes d'audit sur le choix de signaler ces problemes La reglementation exige des auditeurs qu'ils portent les preoccupations et les problemes souleves par l'audit a l'attention des responsables de la mission d'audit et que ces responsables les encouragent a le faire. Les auteurs demontrent, a l'aide d'une experience et d'un sondage, que la propension des membres de l’equipe d'audit a signaler ces problemes est associee a l'Orientation de leurs motivations intrinseques. Etant donne ce constat, ils verifient si les responsables de l'audit peuvent exploiter cette relation de maniere a cultiver cette attitude d'ouverture, en particulier lorsque les problemes d'audit sont plus ambigus, en mettant l'accent sur les buts intrinseques. Les resultats de trois experiences supplementaires indiquent que les auditeurs relevant de responsables qui mettent l'accent sur les buts intrinseques, que ce soit directement ou par l'exemple et la culture d'entreprise, sont davantage susceptibles que les autres auditeurs de signaler les problemes d'audit. Les auteurs constatent egalement que les auditeurs tendent plus souvent a signaler un probleme d'audit lorsque le degre d'ambiguite qui y est associe est moindre. Les auteurs concluent que les responsables peuvent s'acquitter de leur obligation d'encourager les auditeurs a signaler les problemes d'audit a leurs superieurs en mettant l'accent sur les buts intrinseques plutot que les buts extrinseques, peu importe le degre d'ambiguite associe au probleme d'audit.

does Motivational Orientation impact the effectiveness of incentive contracts
Journal of Management Accounting Research, 2017Co-Authors: Bernhard Erich Reichert, Alexander WoodsAbstract:ABSTRACT: Research in psychology has identified that individuals have two distinct neurologically based Motivational systems. One system is the behavioral activation system (BAS), which activates individual motivation in response to signals of reward in order to “achieve success.” The second system is the behavioral inhibition system (BIS), which activates motivation in response to signals of goal conflict in order to “avoid failure.” We predict and find that a stronger, rather than weaker, BIS attenuates the positive effect of sensitive performance measures on performance. In contrast, the BAS does not moderate the effect of performance measure sensitivity on performance.

does Motivational Orientation impact the effectiveness of incentive contracts
Social Science Research Network, 2013Co-Authors: Bernhard Erich Reichert, Alexander WoodsAbstract:Research in psychology has identified that individuals have two distinct neurologically based Motivational systems. One system is the behavioral activation system (BAS), which activates individual motivation in response to signals of reward in order to “achieve success”. The second system is the behavioral inhibition system (BIS), which activates motivation in response to signals of goal conflict in order to “avoid failure”. This paper uses survey and archival evaluation data to examine whether these motivation Orientations impact the effectiveness of incentive contracts. We predict and find that using performance measures that are sensitive to effort in compensation contracts leads to a decrease in performance for individuals high in BIS. In contrast, BAS has a positive effect on performance regardless of performance measure sensitivity. These findings indicate that individual differences in Motivational Orientation may overturn the belief that sensitive performance measures can unequivocally improve incentive contracts.
