Abstract
The spread of blended working has increased vastly over recent years, with the COVID-19 pandemic further enabling employees to work from home. This study aims to investigate the relationship between blended working and intrinsic motivation, specifically the anticipated intrinsic motivation to work for an organization. As such, we are able to expand on previous research that has highlighted the existence of an association between these variables. Alongside this, we investigate the moderating effect of extraversion on this relationship; providing novel insight into whether levels of extraversion impact the relationship between blended working and intrinsic motivation. 196 first-year psychology students at the University of Groningen were recruited and administered a questionnaire regarding blended working, intrinsic motivation, and extraversion in a one-factor (blended working: present vs absent) within-subject experimental design. A repeated-measures analysis of covariance (RM-ANCOVA) revealed a significant main effect of blended working on intrinsic motivation but a non-significant moderation effect of extraversion. Precisely, the analysis shows the presence of a relationship between blended working and intrinsic motivation, but no specific level of extraversion was shown to alter this association. It would be useful for subsequent research to expand on the presence of a moderation by investigating other personal characteristics, whilst focusing on a working population for better representation.
