Regarding self determination theory, it generally posits that individuals have three basic psychological needs: autonomy, competence, and relatedness. Autonomy refers to the need for control over one's actions, competence is the need to effectively interact with the environment, and relatedness involves connecting with others. Fulfilling these needs is said to enhance motivation, well-being, and personal growth. In various settings, self-determination can have different impacts. In the workplace, it can lead to increased job satisfaction and performance. In competitive environments, it may drive individuals to strive for personal excellence. In social settings, it can contribute to positive relationships, and in school, it can enhance learning and academic achievement. I think i do have strong self determination because i get…

Self-determination theory explains how people's perception of self-determination influences their drive. This results in individuals feeling more motivated to take action when they believe what they do will have an impact on the final result. This is advantageous for the workplace since professionals will show greater commitment and effort there. They might want to work more diligently and effectively in their employment.

I believe I have a strong sense of self-determination, especially with regards to things that I am passionate about like my academic career, family, friends, etc. To make both my family and myself proud, I strive to…

1) i read the article

2) what i learned from this article about self determination is how a person could push themselves to do better or to want better for themselves. when you have the motivation to want to achieve in anything great or to get things done. the impacts of self determination is you’ll be able to get stuff done when you motivate yourself to do so which not only helps you but could also help others in the workplace or at school. I feel when you have that wanting to accomplish something vibe it tends to rub off on others.

3) it’s more a half and half for me, i think i have a strong self…

2)In this article I learned that self determination is when someone is motivated to take action in accomplishing, achieving, or getting something done. I also learned that an autonomy mentions the need for freedom and choice and that competence is the wish and or desire to feel capable and effective and this includes the need for social connections and belonging. When these needs are satisfied, most people are more likely to experience inner motivation, and personal growth. This feeling is important for many reasons because this feeling gives you the drive to push forward and try to succeed in whatever you choose.

3) My future goal is to graduate high school and attend college to pursue in nursing.…
