Abstract: Abstract The purpose of this chapter is to propose an approach to structure literature review along robust theoretical lenses leading to conceptualization of work motivation in case of temporary organizations. The chapter is in response to studies calling for a “seamless” theory of work motivation spanning across different management disciplines, without being confined to a specific theoretical stance. We use job design perspective from industrial/organizational psychology literature as a point of departure. We present a comprehensive review of these theories highlighting their premises. Then we focus on the literature on work motivation in case of temporary organizations. We map this literature to the theories in order to consolidate the theoretical corpus underlying work motivation. Various facets of job design that constitute motivating nature of work are identified.
