Expectancy Value Theory, Attribution Theory, and Self-Determination Theory were used to study IP among academics. With 72% of participants experiencing frequent or intense IP levels, IP was prevalent among those sampled. Females experienced higher IP than males, although race and first-generation status did not significantly impact IP levels. Post docs had higher IP scores than tenured faculty and full-time non-tenured faculty had higher IP scores than tenured faculty. Younger academics had higher IP scores. Analyses of the motivational frameworks showed significant differences by IP level.Pages 167-189application/pdfenCreative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 InternationalArticle - Refereed2023-08-2252Johnson, Marcus [0000-0002-4018-4647]
