Abstract

Autonomy in the work environment is a fundamental catalyst for motivation and career success. Through deep conversations with professionals from various industries, this study reveals how freedom in decision-making not only ignites the spark of intrinsic motivation but also fuels overall well-being at work. By adopting an approach that embraces flexibility, organizations can cultivate an environment that fosters the creativity and engagement of their employees. This study examines the relationship between autonomy, intrinsic motivation, and success in organizational settings. Using a qualitative approach, semi-structured interviews were conducted with professionals from different industries to identify patterns in the perception of autonomy and its impact on performance and job satisfaction. The findings indicate that greater independence in decision-making is associated with higher levels of intrinsic motivation and professional well-being. It is recommended that organizations foster flexible work environments to enhance the creativity and commitment of their employees.
