ABSTRACT

This work focuses on the Open Source Software (OSS) topic in education, using a leadership and motivational perspective. The purpose of this paper is to analyse the teachers’ motivation to contribute to OSS projects for teaching. A structural equation model (SEM) has been defined under the postulates of the Path-Goal leadership theory and Motivational Behaviour. This model has tried to explain and predict the use of OSS solutions by teachers in an educational context. The findings confirm the positive relationships between transactional and transformational leaderships with extrinsic and intrinsic motivations. Additionally, the findings show the positive relationship between extrinsic and intrinsic motivations and the contributions to the OSS project in teaching. This research suggests several implications for both leaders and members of an OSS project in an educational context. First, the contribution of teachers and instructors to the project is greater when the motivation is fostered by the leader. Second, this study finds that motivating the participants of a project – teachers in this case – is highly recommended, in order to reach a successful adoption of OSS solutions for education.

领导风格和动机的影响:教育组织的开源软件项目的经验教训

摘要

这项工作侧重于教育中的开源软件 (OSS) 主题,使用领导力和激励的视角。本文的目的是分析教师为 OSS 项目教学做出贡献的动机。在路径-目标领导理论和动机行为的假设下定义了结构方程模型 (SEM)。该模型试图解释和预测教师在教育环境中对 OSS 解决方案的使用。研究结果证实了交易型领导和变革型领导与外在和内在动机之间的积极关系。此外,研究结果表明外在和内在动机与对 OSS 项目在教学中的贡献之间存在正相关关系。这项研究表明,在教育背景下,对 OSS 项目的领导者和成员都有一些影响。首先,当领导者培养积极性时,教师和讲师对项目的贡献更大。其次,本研究发现,强烈建议激励项目的参与者(在这种情况下为教师),以成功采用 OSS 解决方案进行教育。
