The five changes include changes in the university students, changes in the professoriate, changes in academic administration, intemationalisation, and assessment of academic work. These changes are evident in higher education in China. The pressure of the changes -on lecturers will have effects on the wellbeing of lecturers. The study discusses the wellbeing under the Self-determination Theory. This theory views wellbeing as a state of happiness. This theory also proposes that people＇s intrinsic goals like personal growth, meaningful relationships, and community contributions can enhance the satisfaction of three basic needs--need for autonomy, need for competence, and need for relatedness. In this way, lecturers can experience a sense of wellbeing. The findings of the study are significant for leaders in higher education who need to implement policies that foster effective work environments.展开更多

In addition, the model has been tested based on gender differences. To test the hypotheses, the data were collected from 324 undergraduate hospitality and tourism students. The proposed model was tested using structural equation modeling. Results of hypotheses testing showed that both extrinsic motivation and intrinsic motivation had negative relationships with prior cheating, which is consistent with previous research. In addition, neutralization showed a positive relationship with likelihood of cheating and prior cheating was positively related to likelihood of cheating. These findings can help hospitality and tourism instructors and administrators develop various strategies to prevent students＇ unethical behaviors. A discussion of implications is included along with limitations and recommendations for future research.展开更多

In educational settings, the concept of autonomy support, as described in self-determination theory （Deci ＆ Ryan, 1985a）, means that the teacher takes the learners＇ perspective, acknowledges their feelings, and provides them with relevant information and opportunities for choice, while reducing the use of pressure. Therefore, self-determination theory suggests a unique view for understating how autonomy supportive climate can promote intrinsic/autonomous motivation through supporting the basic psychological needs for autonomy, competence, and relatedness. This study first presents an overview of Deci and Ryan＇s （1985a） self-determination theory and its application to the study of L2 （second language） intrinsic/autonomous motivation. Then, based on the tenets of self-determination theory, this study posits that the more the learners＇ needs for autonomy, competence, and relatedness are satisfied in the classroom, the more they indicate intrinsic reasons for learning the language. The results o f this review support the fact that intrinsic/extrinsic paradigm, as described in self-determination theory is useful for enhancing L2 learners＇ autonomous motivation. Finally, 1：his study suggests that self-determination theory has strong implications in L2 learning as the more internalized the reason for L2 learning, the more self-determined and intrinsically/autonomously motiwtted the learners will be展开更多

This theory argues that people＇s motivation is a developmental process across time and place. Furthermore, it emphasizes that three basic psychological needs--a need for competence, a need for autonomy, and a need for relatedness--are the nutriments of motivation. Thus, as this theory not only concerns the type of motivation, but also the circumstances that promote and maintain motivation, it offers insight to the nature of lecturers＇ motivation. It is claimed to be one of the most influential theories in contemporary motivation psychology展开更多
