LECTURE
Collective motivation may be defined as the motivation to choose one’s actions in terms of the goals of some collective entity so as to reach a mutual advantage. I will argue that this should be at the core of our understanding of organizations as collaborative ventures, but that we only have only bits and pieces of a theory of collective motivation (deriving from, e.g., social psychology, behavioral economics, and evolutionary anthropology). I will summarize a recent research line of mine that tries to build a research program in management theory around the notion of collective motivation.
