Recently, the motivation methodology that make workers enjoy their work like a play to encourage worker's creative outcome attracts enterprises's attention, but efforts of enterprises that practices this motivation methodology was biased by external efforts like redesigning work environment or removing factors to interfere worker's intrinsic motivation at work, etc. and enterprise's interest of worker's ability to perform a job like a play was relatively limited.According to this problem, in this study, we investigated the constructs of worker's playfulness(a relatively stable personality disposition to be willing to enjoy certain activity like play) and its relationship to work. To be specific, we tested hypotheses which worker's playfulness would have an effect on both worker's intrinsic motivation at work and flow experience at work, and we found the fact that worker's playfulness is a variable that have a significant effect on both worker's intrinsic motivation at work and flow experience at work.Results of this study indicate that the worker's playfulness is positively related to both worker's intrinsic motivation at work and flow experience at work, and give implications for enterprises's personnel selection and motivation of workers.
