“…Based on earlier motivation studies in education we hypothesized a model of a pathway from BPN to learning outcomes like vitality and LLA ( Fig. 1) (Ryan and Deci 2000b;Haerens et al 2015;Gnambs and Hanfstingl 2015;Olafsen et al 2017). This model distinguishes ''bright'' (desirable) and ''dark'' (less-desirable) pathways in an integrated model.…”

Insufficient professional development may lead to poor performance of healthcare professionals. Therefore, continuing education (CE) and continuing professional development (CPD) are needed to secure safe and good quality healthcare. The aim of the study was to investigate the hypothesized associations and their directions between pharmacists' basic psychological needs in CE, their academic motivation, well-being, learning outcomes. Self-determination theory was used as a theoretical framework for this study. Data were collected through four questionnaires measuring: academic motivation, basic psychological needs (BPN), vitality and lifelong learning adaptability of pharmacists in the CE/CPD learning context. Structural equation modelling was used to analyze the data. Demographic factors like gender and working environment influenced the observed scores for frustration of BPN and factors like training status and working experience influenced the observed scores for academic motivation. A good model fit could be found only for a part of the hypothesized pathway. Frustration of BPN is positively directly related to the less desirable type of academic motivation, controlled motivation (0.88) and negatively directly related to vitality (-1.61) and negatively indirectly related to learning outcomes in CE. Fulfillment or frustration of BPN are important predictors for well-being and learning outcomes. Further research should be conducted to discover how we can prevent these needs from being frustrated in order to design a motivating, vitalizing and sustainable CE/CPD system for pharmacists and other healthcare professionals. Basic psychological needs are very important predictors for well-being and learning outcomes. Further research should be conducted to discover how we can prevent these needs from

“…It has been demonstrated that this distinction was not simply due to effects 1 3 associated with the positive (satisfaction) versus negative (frustration) scale items (Costa et al 2014). Moreover, the predictive validity of need frustration in terms of the robust relations between need frustration and controlled motivation and maladaptive outcomes, such as negative affect (Stebbings et al 2012;Teixeria et al 2018), exhaustion (Bartholomew et al 2014Stebbings et al 2012), disengagement (Jang et al 2016), depressive symptoms (Chen et al 2015), compromised relational functioning (Costa et al 2014), and psychological distress (Teixeria et al 2018), have been consistently exhibited across multiple contexts including health , work (Olafsen et al 2017), interpersonal relationships (Costa et al 2014), exercise (Teixeria et al 2018, compulsory physical education (Haerens et al 2015) and voluntary sport (Bartholomew et al 2011a, b). The distinct role of need frustration has also been found in studies using longitudinal (Jang et al 2016) and diary designs (Mabbe et al 2018;Van der Kaap-Deeder et al 2019) and it is proposed that need frustration may represent a critical transdiagnostic process, that helps to explain the covariation between different forms of problem behaviour (Campbell et al 2018).…”

Need satisfaction and need frustration as distinct and potentially co-occurring constructs: Need profiles examined in physical education and sport

We explored the combined relationships between need satisfaction and need frustration and their simultaneous associations with motivation, well-being, and ill-being. Data from two cross-sectional samples that represent different physical activity contexts, physical education (N = 274; M age = 14.18 ± 1.42 years) and leisure-time sport (N = 160; M age = 22.98 ± 8.79 years), are reported. The identification of distinctive subgroups (need profiles) which had unique associations with motivation, wellbeing, and ill-being provided evidence for the distinct, yet co-occurring nature of need satisfaction and need frustration and the asymmetrical relationship between need satisfaction and need frustration. Our results suggest that experiencing need satisfaction without need frustration was the most adaptive need profile. Experiences of need satisfaction partly countered the effects of need frustration on motivation, well-being, and ill-being. The current study enhances our understanding of people's psychological need experiences, motivation, and psychological health though highlighting the importance of examining need satisfaction and need frustration in combination rather than isolation.

“…However, other approaches to health and well-being in the workplace involve the analysis of need frustration. Olafsen, Niemiec, Halvari, Deci, and Williams (2017) provided longitudinal evidence that frustration of the three psychological needs is associated with higher levels of work-related stress, which is related to higher levels of somatic symptom burden and higher levels of emotional exhaustion, turnover intention, and absenteeism, after a 15-month follow-up. Vander Elst, Van den Broeck, De Witte, and De Cuyper (2012) showed that job insecurity was linked to impaired work-related well-being because it frustrates employees' psychological needs.…”

Research to date has underlined the importance of positive organizational psychology to improve health and psychological well‐being (PWB) in the workplace. The purpose of the present research is to test a model linking satisfaction of the basic psychological needs for autonomy, competence, and relatedness, as identified by self‐determination theory (SDT), and various individual work‐related outcomes, such as job satisfaction, PWB, and health problems in Spanish employees. Nationally representative data from the sixth European Survey on Working Conditions is Spain were used. Structural equation modeling was performed to examine the mediational role of job satisfaction in the relationships between psychological need satisfaction in the workplace and its consequences for PWB and health problems in Spanish employees. The results indicated that the fulfillment of basic psychological needs in the workplace is related to higher job satisfaction and that higher job satisfaction is associated with higher PWB and fewer health problems. Higher perceived competence and relatedness in the workplace were also related to greater PWB and fewer health problems. These results suggest that SDT is a valid approach that may guide interventions in the workplace to promote job satisfaction, PWB, and physical health in employees.
