Drawing on self-determination and play theories, we develop a process model that proposes that daily playful work design (PWD; designing fun, designing competition) positively relates to employees' daily work engagement through basic psychological need satisfaction. A total of 162 Dutch employees filled out short surveys at the end of each workday for 2–5 days (603 observations). As hypothesized, employees were more engaged on the days they designed their work to be more playful, which was explained by the satisfaction of their needs for autonomy, relatedness, and competence. Moreover, as expected, designing fun and designing competition differed in how and why they related to work engagement. In addition, we found that daily PWD was related to same-day, but not next-day need satisfaction and work engagement. Most path coefficients were statistically invariant across levels of analysis (between- vs. within-person levels), suggesting their meaning and function is equivalent across levels. However, additional analyses revealed synergetic effects between overall use of designing fun and designing competition. These findings expand self-determination and play theories by revealing how and why a proactive and playful approach to work activities and relationships fosters work engagement.

有趣的工作设计和员工的工作投入:一个自决的视角

借鉴自我决定和游戏理论,我们开发了一个过程模型,提出日常游戏性工作设计(PWD;设计乐趣,设计竞赛)通过基本的心理需求满足与员工的日常工作投入正相关。共有 162 名荷兰员工在每个工作日结束时填写了为期 2-5 天的简短调查(603 次观察)。正如假设的那样,员工在将工作设计得更有趣的日子里更加投入,这可以通过满足他们对自主性、相关性和能力的需求来解释。此外,正如预期的那样,设计乐趣和设计竞赛在与工作投入相关的方式和原因上有所不同。此外,我们发现每日 PWD 与当天的需求满意度和工作投入有关,但与第二天的需求满意度和工作投入无关。大多数路径系数在不同的分析水平(个人之间与个人水平)之间是统计不变的,这表明它们的意义和功能在不同水平上是等效的。然而,额外的分析揭示了设计乐趣的整体使用和设计竞赛之间的协同效应。这些发现通过揭示积极和有趣的工作活动和关系如何以及为什么促进工作投入,从而扩展了自决和游戏理论。
