For this reason, work is a crucial source of human well-being. However, our motivation at work is not always the same but changes from time to time and at different time scales; at short-term if we consider days or weeks, and long-term as well if we consider years and decades. Recent literature has started to pay attention to these changes proposing different psychological mechanisms. In this presentation, I will focus on these changes and the mechanisms involved. In the long term, I will explore how work motivation changes are due to changes in expectancies, personal values, and vocational interests among others. All of these changes can be considered as a natural consequence of a more general process of maturity. In the short term, the picture that research is showing us is clearly more interesting from the point of view of the complexity science; at short-term (i.e., hours, days or weeks), work motivation behaves nonlinearly, presenting continuous ups and downs independently of the task the worker is doing. The mechanisms involved in these changes remain unclear; however, the most likely explanation for these changes is the emotions that work and labor relationship produces continuously. Emotions at work are volatile and their nonlinear dynamics can be considered as the main determinant in work motivation changes. At this point, asking about the dynamic nature of emotions and motivations at work moves us to ask also about the possible functions of these continuous changes as an adaptive response to interacting with the working environment.</span></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; "><b> </b></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; "><b><span style="font-size: 11pt; "> </span></b></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; "><b><span style="color: black; ">Biographical Sketch:<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></b><span style="color: black; ">J</span><span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; ">osé Navarro, PhD, is an associate professor at the University of Barcelona, Spain.
