Autonomy support is especially important for Wall Street bankers because they are generally extrinsically motivated. Results indicated that autonomy support had a greater impact on the motivation and well-being of these individuals when compared to those in professions like teaching and nursing.
Receiving autonomy support from managers was related to greater need satisfaction at work, which in turn predicted better work performance but was unrelated to well-being.
Because Wall Street bankers are typically extrinsically motivated (e.g. in it for the money), receiving autonomy support from their managers has little to no impact on the quality of their work performance.
