碩士 === 國防大學政治作戰學院 === 心理碩士班 === 100 === Self-determination theory (SDT) proposes that human have three basic needs, including autonomy, competence, and relatedness need, and the autonomy support can promote the satisfication of these basic needs. However, past researches concerned only the autonomy support from people (e.g., manager and coach), and ignored the autonomy support from organization (e.g., organizational rule).In this study, the author proposed two forms of autonomy support (i.e., organizational and manager autonomy support), and hypothesized that the effect of organizational autonomy support on organizational citizenship behavior (OCB) would be mediated by autonomy need, while the effect of manager autonomy support on OCB would be mediated by relatedness need. The results showed a good construct validity of treating the organizational and manager autonomy support as two distinct constructs. Howerer, most hypotheses of mediation effects were not supported.
