Abstract: | This study investigated the moderating role of intrinsic motivation on the relationship between trainee programme reactions and work performance among trainees enrolled in formal trainee programmes. The results from a cross-sectional survey among 114 trainees representing three Norwegian service organizations showed that the relationships between perception of the trainee programme and facets of self-reported work performance were positive only for trainees low in intrinsic motivation. Implications for practice and directions for future research are discussed. |
