Conceptual Model of Productive Ageing to Support Intrinsic Value Activities through ICT Services

Abstract

This paper looks into the conceptual model for productive aging towards quality of life. This conceptual model underlines the limitation of intrinsic values research in productive aging and ICT as enabler towards intrinsic value. The research aims to investigate on how Information and Communication Technology (ICT) services support intrinsic values activities in productive aging. The literature review on productive ageing, intrinsic values and the theories related to intrinsic motivation theories are found in this paper in order to help the researcher frame the research design of this study. The uses of ICT services with the features of intrinsic motivation (IM) such as competence, relatedness, autonomous, altruism that could support the elderlies in their intrinsic values activities especially in self-development, care giving and volunteering for productivity is emphasized in this research.
