The primary purposes of this study were to (i) assess levels of different types of work motivation in a sample of UK hospitality workers and make a cross-cultural comparison with Chinese counterparts and (ii) identify how work motivation and shame-based attitudes towards mental health explain the variance in mental health problems in UK hospitality workers. One hundred three UK hospitality workers completed self-report measures, and correlation and multiple regression analyses were conducted to identify significant relationships. Findings demonstrate that internal and external motivation levels were higher in UK versus Chinese hospitality workers. Furthermore, external motivation was more significantly associated with shame and mental health problems compared to internal motivation. Motivation accounted for 34-50% of mental health problems. This is the first study to explore the relationship between motivation, shame, and mental health in UK hospitality workers. Findings suggest that augmenting internal motivation may be a novel means of addressing mental health problems in this worker population.
（i）评估英国酒店业工作者样本中不同类型工作动机的水平，并与中国同行进行跨文化比较；（ii）确定工作动机和基于羞耻感的心理健康态度如何解释英国酒店业工作者心理健康问题的差异。103名英国酒店业工作者完成了自我报告测量，并进行了相关性和多元回归分析以确定显著关系。研究结果表明，与中国酒店业工作者相比，英国酒店业工作者的内在动机和外在动机水平更高。此外，与内在动机相比，外在动机与羞耻感和心理健康问题的关联更为显著。动机占心理健康问题的34 - 50%。这是第一项探索英国酒店业工作者动机、羞耻感和心理健康之间关系的研究。研究结果表明，增强内在动机可能是解决该职业群体心理健康问题的一种新方法。
