E6: Autonomy-Supportive Organizations
Listen now
Description
In this episode, we will talk about the concept of Autonomy-Supportive Organizations. An autonomy-supportive organization is an organization that fulfills its members’ autonomy needs. When we perceive that we are free to perform our work in our own way within an autonomy-supportive context, we are more likely to find work engaging, have higher job satisfaction, and increased performance. We also engage in more self-directed behaviors, address obstacles and challenges more freely, and feel more support and connection. And the great news is that you can deliberately foster such an environment Come along on this quest to find answers: what are the most effective interventions, according to science,  for organizations to foster an autonomy-supportive environment?
