Highlights:

• This study proposes that motivations have differential effects on task choice.

• Findings based on a survey support the proposed model of differential effects.

• Those motivated by competence development tend to choose high-commitment tasks.

• Those motivated by social affiliation tend to choose interdependent tasks.

• Participants motivated by payment tend to choose structured tasks.
