The personal initiative theory attempts to resolve the theoretical contradiction that exists in the occurrence of self-starting behavior in the context of externally given tasks; it allows for the simultaneous occurrence of extrinsic and intrinsic motivation for a behavior, and it enlarges our understanding of the role of positive and negative affect in the enactment of a self-starting behavior.",
