Biography

Kaspar Schattke studied psychology at the University of Potsdam in Germany and the University of Sussex at Brighton in England. After his graduation as “Diplom-Psychologe” (equivalent to Bachelor and Master in psychology), he started a doctoral program at TUM School of Management, Technische Universität München (Germany) where he also worked as a junior lecturer. At the same time, he became a certified management trainer and consultant and started giving “leadership-by-motivation”trainings for salesmen, entrepreneurs, and theatre management executives. In July 2011, he graduated as “Doktor der Philosophie” (Dr. phil.). Subsequently, he completed a two-year post-doctoral fellowship with Dr. Marylène Gagné and Dr. Stéphane Brutus at the John Molson School of Business.
Dr. Schattke’s research interests focus on different types of motivation, such as achievement and intrinsic motivation and their interplay. He is also interested in the congruence of implicit and explicit motive systems related to flow experience, open innovation, and performance. He completed several research visits at McGill University (Canada) supported by the Centre de Coopération Universitaire Franco-Bavarois and the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD). He received a publication prize from TUM Graduate School for his paper on the developmental antecedents of motive congruence (Schattke, Koestner, & Kehr, 2011).
Since August 2013, Dr. Schattke has been working as Lecturer Assistant Professor at John Molson School of Business where he teaches courses about contemporary business thinking as well as leadership and motivation. Moreover, he is an instructor at the John Molson Executive Centre. Dr. Schattke’s current research projects focus on the distinction between intrinsic and achievement motivation, on antecedents and consequences of motive congruence as well as on motivation for supporting charitable causes promoted via social media .
 In 2010, Kaspar Schattke co-organized the 2^nd Munich Symposium on Motivation (MSM), a small and distinguished biannual international workshop, which brings together international researchers who work on different aspects of motivation. Dr. Schattke is currently the Secretary-Archivist of the Society for the Study of Motivation (SSM).
