Description
Summary:[...]research on work motivation has long recognized between-person differences in self-regulation and explored the interaction of these person-level variables with the situation or job context. [...]the plethora of individual differences examined in the work motivation literature hold direct relevance to the work-related strengths and weaknesses attributed to different neurominority groups. [...]these statements were pulled from descriptions of the “state-oriented” ends of three different dimensions of action-state orientation (ASO)—a set of individual differences put forth in the theory of action control (Kuhl & Goschke, 1994). [...]quantifying differences in self-regulation along multiple, independent dimensions may help reduce the stigma of disease and discourage overgeneralizations about people with certain diagnoses.
