2. Introduction of Variables
• 1 INTRODUCTION
• 1.1CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK
• Relationship between vitality at work and self-determination and work style
• Vitality at work is most strongly associated with basic psychological needs of self-determination, but also
with healthy lifestyle behavior, having a balanced workstyle, and social capital. Vitality at work is also
associated with effective personal functioning and with sustainable employability.
• VITALITY
• vitality can be defined as the desire for survival, growth and development. The health of the workers is due to the
healthy, energetic people. In short, the most important people are those who feel good, physically and mentally. Mental
and physical health are inextricably linked.
• THE IMPORTANCE OF VITALITY
• Valuable and motivated employees form the foundations of a healthy organization. Key employees are less likely to get
sick, are more productive, feel more committed and are therefore an important factor in organizational success. An
employee is important when there is a good balance between stress and energy. The employee will feel good at work and
will always be healthy and important. If an employee does not feel important, the result may be that he or she does not
feel comfortable at work. After all, you need energy to work. Those who feel good and healthy can work longer and be
happier.

3. • VITALITY AT WORK
• vitality at work is closely linked to the basic psychological needs of self-determination, but also to
healthy living habits, a balanced work ethic, and public finances. Occupational health is also associated
with effective work ethic and stable employment at workplace.
• WORK STYLE
• 'Workstyle' can be described as a mechanism by which ergonomic and psychosocial risk factors interact to affect
the development, exacerbation and/or maintenance of upper limb pain and functional limitations. Workstyle is
associated with the increase in the work demand, Deepak Sharan(2012, P.01)

4. • SELF DETERMINATION
• To be self-determining means to experience a sense of choice in initiating and regulating one's own
actions. Recent research linking self-determination to, enhanced creativity (Amabile, 1983), conceptual
learning (Benware & Deci, 1984), self-esteem (Deci, Schwartz, Scheinman, & Ryan, 1981), and general
well-being (Langer & Rodin, 1976) has stimulated psychologists to clarify the antecedent conditions that
promote self-determination and to detail the relevance of self-determination to various applied
settings.
• Concepts related to self-determination have been vigorously researched and discussed in the
organizational literature for over a quarter century. Argyris (1957) and McGregor (1960), for example,
stressed that organizational contexts providing workers the opportunity to satisfy their higher order
needs (Maslow, 1943) promote effective performance

5. • In psychology, self-determination is an important concept that refers to the individual's ability to make
decisions and to manage his or her life. This ability plays an important role in mental health and well-
being. Self-determination allows people to feel empowered to control their choices and their lives. It
also contributes to motivation — people feel more motivated to act when they feel that what they are
doing will contribute to the outcome.
•
• The concept of self-determination has been applied to various fields including education, employment,
child rearing, exercise, and health. Research suggests that high self-esteem can promote success in
many different areas of life.

6. Review of Literature
• 1.2 REVIEW OF LITERATURE
• Edward L Deci, (1989) in this study it seems reasonable to conclude that, with certain limitations, the
experience of self-determination, promoted by managers' being autonomy-supportive, has positive
ramifications for people's work lives. What remains to be explored, beyond the possible limiting conditions
on this effect discussed the extent to which the subordinates themselves contribute to their own experience
of self-determination either by uniquely interpreting their manager's orientation as supporting self-
determination or by behaving in a way that leads their manager to be more supportive of their self-
determination.
• E Kevin Kelloway, (2010) it states that organizational leadership is related to, and predictive of, health and
safety-relevant outcomes in employees. Moreover, we believe that a small but growing body of literature
supports the effectiveness of leadership development as a means of positively influencing these outcomes.
Pursuing this suggestion will, we believe, substantially advance our knowledge of not only leadership
development but also other areas of occupational health psychology.
• William Macey, (2008) in this having engaged employees may be a key to competitive advantage. This
will be especially true if we can show how the engagement construct produces effects at levels of analysis
of concern to management. As with all good things, the challenge of establishing the conditions for state
and behavioural employee engagement will be great. Once again, there seems to be no silver bullet. The
beauty of this conclusion is that companies that get these conditions right will have accomplished
something that competitors will find very difficult to imitate. It is easy to change price and product; it is
another thing to create a state and behaviourally engaged.

7. • Ryan W. Quinn, (2005) in this theory of coordination as energy-in-conversation reveals how energy is a text affecting
coordination according to people’s interpretations, that coordination is an affective process with dynamic contours that are
consequential for creating and maintaining organizational arrangements, and that narratives and speech acts affect both the
effort and direction of sub-sequent actions. These contributions can be used to re narrate the way in which organizational
scholars study coordination. We hope that those of us who tell the story of the future of research on coordination do so with
energy, zest, vitality, and enthusiasm.
• David Markland, (2008) it states that the positive contribution of social engagement motive to intrinsic regulation is
consistent with the notion that social engagement fulfils needs for autonomy, competence and relatedness. However,
whereas the effect of identified regulation on participation was positive, the effect of intrinsic regulation was neutral. Some
other studies have also found identified regulation, more than intrinsic regulation, to predict exercise participation.
• Maarten Vansteenkiste, (2007) in this study specifically, if materialistic work values occupy a more important place in
employees’ entire work value configuration, they experience more negative job outcomes, less positive job outcomes, and
they are more likely to intend to leave their jobs. This is because the pursuit of extrinsic, relative to intrinsic, values is less
likely to be associated with the satisfaction of employees’ basic needs for autonomy, competence and relatedness. Hence, in
order to facilitate employees’ job well-being, managers and organizational cultures might do well to promote an intrinsic
mind-set, while simultaneously decreasing the importance of extrinsic work values.

8. • Gretchen M. Spreitzer, (2005) it states important implications for employee health and development. We
have developed a socially embedded model of thriving that shows how unit contextual features and resources
created in the doing of work cultivate a set of agentic working behaviours. These behaviours bolster the
creation of different kinds of resources that further promote agentic working behaviours. The notion that unit
contextual features, deontic behaviours, and resources produced in the doing of work jointly enable
individuals to thrive enhances our understanding of how social contexts and human agency interact to
promote positive functioning at work.
• Wilmar B Schaufeli, (2006) in this theory it states that the introduction of this short questionnaire to measure
engagement, which seems to have encouraged psychometric features, stimulates further research on positive
organizational psychology.
• Luc Pelletier, (2004) findings hold some important implications for health professionals concerned with
understanding why some people may be more successful than others at regulating their eating behaviours.
One possible way of addressing this issue would be to inquire about the different reasons as to why people
regulate their eating behaviours. Results of the present studies suggest that it is important to distinguish
between autonomous and controlled motives, given the different associations that these two global
categories of motives present with eating behaviours.

9. • Gerard I.J.M Zwetsloot, (2010) the organizations had many data sources available that could potentially be of use in
identifying and managing health and related business benefits. However, these data sources were fragmented across
departments and, sometimes across service providers, and involved a variety of databases that were not always compatible.
As a result, these frontrunner kempanes only rarely evaluated the business impact of their health interventions and could
only hope to achieve the intended business benefits.
•
• Marlene Nunes Silva, (2010) demonstrated that the intervention produced measurable improvements in hand outcomes
and psychological theory-grounded variables, relative to an appropriate control group; and 'how well does it work?'':
moderate to strong effect sizes were observed, favouring the intervention. All participants are now being followed for two
additional years to evaluate weight maintenance and other relevant long-term processes and outcomes
• Martin E P Seligman, (2001) They developed sophisticated methods both experimental and longitudinal--for understanding
the causal pathways that lead to such undesirable outcomes. Most important, they developed pharmacological and
psychological interventions that have allowed many untreatable mental disorders to become highly treatable and, in a
couple of cases, even curable. These same methods and in many cases the same laboratories and the next generation of
scientists, with a slight shift of emphasis and funding, will be used to measure, understand, and build those characteristics
that make life most worth living. As a side effect of studying positive human traits, science will learn how to buffer against
and better prevent mental, as well as some physical, illnesses. As a main effect, psychologists will learn how to build the
qualities that help individuals and communities, not just to endure and survive, but also to flourish.

10. • Miron Zukerman, (1978) this experiment is consistent with the growing body of literature which suggests that people's
motivation is greater when they have more rather than less control over their environment. In the present experiment
subjects who were given a modest amount of additional self-control-namely the opportunity to select them.
•
• Wayne F Cascio, (1972) the findings presented in this paper give further support to the cognitive evaluation theory, there
are still many unanswered questions which need to be investigated. It was reported that positive feedback can lead to an
increase in intrinsic motivation. However, in one study (Deci, 1972a), one group of female subjects showed a substantial,
though not significant, decrease in intrinsic motivation following the experience with verbal reinforcements. It was
suggested that the effects of verbal reinforcements might be dependent on the amount or strength of I the verbal
reinforcements.
•
• Carl A Benware, (1984) states that the opportunity to use information to act on one's environment facilitates intrinsic
motivation for learning that information and results in improved conceptual learning, relative to learning that is aimed
merely at passing an examination. Given that the aim of most educators is to promote conceptual learning, educational
climates and procedures that facilitate intrinsically motivated learning would seem to be of central importance.
poojajain.som@itmuniversity.ac.in 10

11. • Mark Lepper, (1975) It may be objected, of course, that many activities we ask of children in school are
of little or no intrinsic interest to the children; that there are many important activities in which
children would not engage spontaneously without external pressure or offer of external reward. We
agree completely and suggest that in these cases the use of extrinsic rewards is necessary and
appropriate. Certainly the "lesson" to be learned from these studies is not that extrinsic rewards should
be abandoned, but rather that if one wishes to foster an interest in activities which would manifest
itself in situations or at times when extrinsic pressures are absent, one would be well advised to employ
the minimal amount of pressure sufficient to elicit or maintain the desired behaviour.

• SUMMARY AND CONCLUSION
poojajain.som@itmuniversity.ac.in 42

43. • 5.1 SUMMARY OF THE STUDY
• The study has been divided into 5 chapters. The first chapter of this study was the introduction which
was divided into 5 sub-parts conceptual frameworks, review of literature, rationale, objective, and
hypothesis. In the conceptual framework, all definitions and introductions about the topic were written.
In a review of literature, all research related to the study has to be written which has been done
previously. Rationale is used to understand the importance and need of the study.. The objectives include
all the objects of the research. And the next part was a hypothesis to find out the relation between and
impact of all the variables.
• The second chapter is a research methodology that includes sample size, and types of sampling
techniques that have been adopted. Like this research was exploratory in nature and was include a
sample size of 308 individual respondents. Data was collected through a standardized questionnaire to
study the effect of vitality at work on self determination and work style. Reliability test, factor analysis,
Regression, and T-test were applied to the sample.

the reliability statics was found. Factor analysis was also applied to the questionnaire to identify the
underline factor under each constraint. And to know the effect of vitality at work on self determination
and work style Regression Test was applied.
• The fourth chapter of the study is implications and suggestions.
• The fifth chapter is a summary and conclusion and in the end references and annexure.

45. • 5.2 CONCLUSION
• The objective of the study was to find out the effect vitality at work on self determination and work style.
A reliability test was applied to test the reliability of the questionnaire and it was found that the reliability
is more than the standard value which is 0.7.
• For work style 0.717 and for self determination it was 0.756 and for vitality it was 0.757. Factor analysis
was applied to know the underlying factor of individual variables. T-test was used to identify the impact
of gender on perceived work style and self determination and vitality and it was seen that there was no
significant impact of gender on work stress or working ability of individual respondents.

46. • In regression The hypothesis tests if self determination carries a significant impact on vitality
at work. The dependent variable SD was regressed on predicting value V to test the hypothesis
H1. SD significantly predicted V,F(1,306)=33.897,p<0.5, which indicates that the v can play a
significant role in shaping SD(b=.316,p<0.5). these results clearly direct the positive effect of
the v. moreover the R2=.100 depicts that the model explains 10% of the variance in SD.
• The hypothesis tests if work style carries a significant impact on vitality at work. The dependent variable
WS was regressed on predicting value V to test the hypothesis H2. WS significantly predicted
V,F(1,306)=247.730,p<0.5, which indicates that the V can play a significant role in shaping
WS(b=.669,p<0.5). these results clearly direct the positive effect of the V. moreover the R2=.447 depicts
that the model explains 44.7% of the variance in WS.
