The Effects of Communication Training for Promoting Intrinsic Motivation in the Workplace of Employees

Abstract
The purpose of the present research was to study the effects of communication training for promoting intrinsic motivation in the workplace. The hypothesis of the study was that after the training, the posttest scores of the employees would be higher for Communication for Promoting Intrinsic Motivation in the Workplace (CPIMP) than the pretest scores with gender functioning as a moderating variable in the relationship between the training program and intrinsic motivation. A pretest-posttest and experimental group design were used and24 employees served as subjects. The subjects were all employees of the food and beverage companies. The employees were trained for communication for promoting intrinsic motivation in the workplace designed specifically for the study. The data were collected prior to the training and two weeks after the training. The tools comprised the training program and a CPIMP questionnaire. Two-way ANOVA was used to analyze the hypothesis of this study. The results of the research can be summarized as follows: 1) A two-way interaction between pretest-posttest and gender was not found in this study 2) After two weeks of training, the employees showed significantly higher CPIMP scores than prior to the training (p < .05) 3) Gender did not function as a moderating variable in the relationship between the training and intrinsic motivation and 4) The employees increased their communication for promoting intrinsic motivation in the workplace by 8.65% after two weeks.
