Kay, AC; Jost, JT, Theoretical integration in motivational science: System justification as one of many "autonomous motivational structures"., The Behavioral and brain sciences, vol. 37 no. 2 (April, 2014), pp. 146-147, ISSN 0140-525X [doi]

Abstract:
Recognizing that there is a multiplicity of motives - and that the accessibility and strength of each one varies chronically and temporarily - is essential if motivational scientists are to achieve genuine theoretical and empirical integration. We agree that system justification is a case of nonconscious goal pursuit and discuss implications of the fact that it conflicts with many other psychological goals.
