A validity generalization procedure to test relations between intrinsic and extrinsic motivation and influence tactics

The relations of intrinsic and extrinsic motivation with use of consultative, legitimating, and pressure influence tactics were examined using validity generalization procedures. 5 to 7 field studies with cumulative samples exceeding 800 were used to test each relationship.
