Abstract
In this study the relationship between followers' mental boundaries and sources of work motivation for a sample of 382 government employees was tested. Participants' mean age was 46 yr.; 53% were women and 42% had earned bachelors' degrees. Analysis gave a significant positive but weak correlation of .11 between followers' mental boundaries and self-concept internal motivation. Other correlations were not significant. More complex models and research designs are required to generalize findings.
