title = {The self-concept of book publishers and its significance for job satisfaction and satisfaction with economic success},
year = {2014},
note = {The present article analyses two opposing self-concepts of
entrepreneurs in the book publishing industry based on the well-known
culture/commerce divide that operates in cultural industries. It
analyses the effects of the self-concepts on entrepreneurial
orientation, intrinsic motivation, job satisfaction and satisfaction
with the [A1]economic success. The main result of our study is that
there are two ways for gaining work satisfaction as a publisher. Both
have inherent constraints. Publishers with a strong idealistic
orientation to promote cultural goals are often not very satisfied
with the economic success of their enterprises. However, their high
intrinsic motivation enhances their job satisfaction. Publishers with
a strong economic orientation derive their satisfaction primarily from
their firms’ success and obtain high job satisfaction from that.
Somewhat surprisingly we find a strong relationship between
satisfaction with success and intrinsic motivation, a result that
seemingly contradicts the crowding-out thesis, which asserts that
extrinsic rewards undermine intrinsic motivation. The limitations of
this thesis and of its application to publishers are discussed. The
data stems from a survey with responses of 196 publishers.},
