Supervisors and managers have an increasingly significant role in employees' motivation. The applied framework in this field research was the Self-Determination Theory (SDT). In this way, it was assessed that whether supervisors can be trained in order to support employees' basic psychological needs including autonomy, relatedness, and competence. As a result, their need satisfaction and autonomous motivation were promoted, at the same time, the controlled motivation and amotivation were reduced. The training was provided to 15 supervisors then employees' need satisfaction, amotivation, controlled motivation, and autonomous motivation were investigated, pre- and post-intrvention. Performing a multilevel regression analysis revealed that employees in the intervention group showed an increment in autonomous motivation and need satisfaction, as well as a significant reduction in amotivation than those of the control group. Furthermore, increasing autonomous motivation and decreasing amotivation were moderated via increasing need satisfaction. An added value has been provided for the mentioned theory on need satisfaction by the current study. It was also indicated that a relatively brief intervention for supervisors may affect creating employees need support, and autonomous motivation increment, and amotivation reduction.
主管和经理在员工激励方面发挥着越来越重要的作用。本领域研究中应用的框架是自我决定理论（SDT）。通过这种方式，评估了主管是否可以接受培训，以支持员工的基本心理需求，包括自主性、关联性和能力。结果，他们的需求满意度和自主动机得到提升，同时，受控动机和无动机状态减少。对15名主管进行了培训，然后在干预前后调查了员工的需求满意度、无动机状态、受控动机和自主动机。进行多层次回归分析表明，干预组的员工与对照组相比，自主动机和需求满意度有所增加，无动机状态显著降低。此外，通过提高需求满意度来调节自主动机的增加和无动机状态的减少。本研究为上述需求满意度理论提供了附加值。研究还表明，对主管进行相对简短的干预可能会影响员工需求支持的营造、自主动机的增加和无动机状态的减少。
