ABSTRACT

This paper tests to what extent the dimensionof the CLEAR model can be used as reliable predictors of an individual’s decision to pursue council membership. By using the CLEAR framework as an extension of known frameworks such as self-determination theory and public service motivation that only focus on motivation, we develop a more comprehensive view of an individual’s decision to run for candidacy. Our research shows that people do not distinguish between the ‘can do’ and ‘like to’ dimensions. Rather, these two dimensions must be considered as three sub-dimensions in our research coined as amotivation, intrinsic motivation, and extrinsic motivation. Furthermore, in explaining why people tend to decide to run for council membership, only amotivation, intrinsic motivation and social support (enabled dimension) appeared to be reliable predictors. To further our analysis, we have analysed how these different dimensions differ across different societal groups.

摘要

本文测试了 CLEAR 模型的维度在多大程度上可以用作个人决定成为理事会成员的可靠预测指标。通过将 CLEAR 框架用作自决理论和仅关注动机的公共服务动机等已知框架的扩展，我们对个人竞选候选人的决定形成了更全面的看法。我们的研究表明，人们不会区分“可以做”和“喜欢”的维度。相反，这两个维度必须被视为我们研究中创造的三个子维度，即动机、内在动机和外在动机。此外，在解释为什么人们倾向于决定竞选理事会成员时，只有动机、内在动机和社会支持（启用维度）似乎是可靠的预测因素。
