Autonomy
Captions available
The idea
Autonomy, in Self-Determination Theory, is volition: the experience of acting from your own values and endorsed reasons rather than under pressure or compulsion.
In practice
An employee following clear instructions whose reason they understand and agree with, acting autonomously inside a structure.
Where people slip
Autonomy is not independence. Unit seven returns to it as the book's first pillar of identity.
