Item Incremental effects of reward on intrinsic interest and creativity: the role of performance pressure(University of Delaware, 2005) Aselage, JustinA laboratory study and two field studies examined the mediational role of performance pressure in the positive relationship of rewards for superior performance with intrinsic interest and creativity. Study 1 found that performance pressure and perceived self-determination mediated a positive association between performance-reward expectancy and intrinsic job interest among employees working in diverse occupations. Study 2 replicated these findings and showed that performance-reward expectancy was positively related to employees' creativity on the job as mediated by intrinsic job interest. Study 3 found that college students who were promised a reward for high performance exhibited enhanced performance pressure, intrinsic interest, and creativity.
