Does software developers' motivation affect performance?
Zoe Wong · Griffith Research Online · 2004
Past research suggests that motivation is the critical factors influencing software review performance. However, there is no published evidence investigating the important relationship between motivation and performance. As a result, the aim of this paper is to examine the effect of motivation on software review performance. A total of 205 developers voluntarily participated in a questionnaire survey in Australia in 2003. The main findings include: (1) contingency is the key driver to the performance, (2) confidence also has a positive effect on performance, (3) both commitment and competency has not value to software review performance.
