Key Points

To examine how individual psychological needs influence work motivation and determine whether country-level social conditions moderate these associations.
Conducted hierarchical linear modeling (HLM) on cross-national survey data from 32,614 individuals across 25 countries obtained from the World Values Survey (WVS).
Evaluated individual-level basic psychological needs—competence, autonomy, and social relatedness—alongside country-level moderators, including religious affiliation, political participation, humane orientation, and in-group collectivism.
Autonomy and social relatedness positively influenced work motivation, whereas competence exerted a negative effect.
Country-level religious affiliation, political participation, humane orientation, and in-group collectivism significantly moderated the individual-level relationships between basic needs and work motivation.
