Work-From-Anywhere: Effect of Intrinsic Motivation and Perceived Moderation of Commitment on Performance of Information Technology Professionals in India.

Abstract

This paper studies the effect of intrinsic motivation on the individual work performance of work-from-anywhere information technology professionals in India. We collected data from 410 Information Technology (I.T.) workforce in India to analyse the relationship. We test the hypothesis considering SEM. Our result suggests that (a) work isolation of I.T. professionals in work-from-anywhere conditions in India enhances intrinsic motivation and work performance, and (b) organization commitment does not moderate the relationship between intrinsic motivation and job performance. The study is underpinned by the lenses of self-determination theory and need to belong theory. There is scant literature that considers the connections between intrinsic motivation on IWPQ and the effect of perceived organizational commitment as a moderator on work-from-anywhere I.T. professionals in India. This research addresses a significant literature gap in the Indian context.
