nology among individuals in the positive mood intervention. Regardless, a long term decrease of intrinsic motivation and intention was observed among those in the negative mood condition. Regression analyses revealed the effect of intrinsic and extrinsic motivation on usage was fully mediated by behavioral intention, therefore providing support for the examination of behavioral intention as the key dependent variable.The Venkatesh and Speier (1999) study was important to investigate because the short and long term effects of employee mood (at the time of computer technology training) on the motivation and intention to use the specific technology is an overlooked topic. This study can help businesses understand employees’ moods and intentions. It was crucial that this study was researched over a period of time, so that it could examine employees substantially. Also, these findings have important theoretical and practical implications for employee training. Repetitive research should be done on this topic in order to grasp more knowledge and a better understanding on mood, training, and intentions.The Wall, Kemp, Jackson, and Clegg (1986) study tried to determine the long term consequences after implementing self-managing workgroups in a manufacturing environment. The purpose of the new form of organization, autonomous workgroups, was to have employees use self-control over the pace of work, distribution of tasks, organization of breaks, and collective participation in the recruitment and training of new members.Wall et al. (1986) intended to evaluate the effects of autonomous workgroups over a period of three years, beginning with the start up of production. The research was based on data collected from a total of 545 employees, of which 83 percent were women. The study was based on a quasi-experimental research design consisting of four conditions. These conditions included the main experimental group (all day shift empl...
