Motivation theorists have a common view that a person is motivated when he or she has some interaction with its environment. Essence of this view is a kind of dichotomous framework, which emphasizes separation between a person and its environment.
The author of this paper proposes another framework of person-environment interaction. Its essence is the importance of the internal model of environment a person has in mind when he or she is motivated through interaction with environment. This new framework is needed particularly when we focus on motivational aspects of people who work with each other as a network organization because they have to work not only autonomously but also collaboratively.
This paper shows a theoretical constructs of the above framework, especially on intrinsic motivation. Furthermore, it reports a case study conducted in a pharmaceutical company to examine the empirical value of the new framework.
