Using Self-determination Theory as a framework (Ryan y Deci, 2000, 2017), the present study explored if the quality of motivation of the firefighter candidates (autonomous or controlled) mediated the relationship between the perception of the instructor's motivational style (autonomy support or control) and the variables of engagement (vigor, dedication and absorption), pro-social behavior and oppositional defiance, in a group of 224 firefighter candidates from the city of Lima. The initial results find significant correlations between the instructor's motivational style and the type of motivation of the firefighter candidates with the variables of engagement and oppositional defiance, but no correlation was found with prosocial behavior neither between the instructor's motivational style and the type of motivation. Given these results, the mediation model was replaced by a direct-effects model. The path analysis results found positive effects of instructor's autonomy supportive style on autonomy and autonomous motivation on the variables of engagement, as well as negative effects on oppositional defiance. Also, the perception of the instructor's controlling style and controlled motivation were together found to have a positive effect on oppositional defiance. The results are consistent with both the bright side and the dark side of the theory of motivation (Ryan y Deci, 2017). It is important for volunteer firefighters to take in consideration these results since there is little research on firefighters in training, also in this context the type of motivation generates a greater engagement to the work of the fireman, and the role of the instructor who does not promote autonomy would generate behaviors of oppositional defiance.
