Abstract

This study aimed to investigate the impact of motivational speeches on psychological need satisfaction and intrinsic motivation of young adults utilizing a pretest-posttest quasi experiment method. A total of 25 students was selected via non-probability purposive sampling. The study utilized the Basic Psychological Need Satisfaction and Frustration Scale (BPNSFS; Chen et al., 2015) and the Intrinsic Motivation Inventory (IMI; Ryan & Deci, 2000). Pretest measurements were taken from participants three weeks before and after viewing the motivational video “Formula for Success”. Post-test data was collected to evaluate the impact of the video. The results indicated a significant increase in psychological need satisfaction after the speech and a positive correlation between psychological need satisfaction and intrinsic motivation. No significant differences were found across gender, educational institutions and area of living. This study highlights the importance of motivational speech in increasing intrinsic motivation and psychological wellbeing offering a basis for future educational and motivational research. This study is likely to provide ground work for future studies.
