Assessment Overview
The Work Motivation Intensity Scale (WMIS) is an assessment that identifies the intensity of motivation a person has in their workplace.
The scale can help you, the employer, learn what compels your employees to perform a particular task and provide the proper guidance or encouragement when needed.
Dimensions
Internal Motivation (IM)
Defined as doing an activity for its inherent satisfaction rather than for some separable consequence.
Internalized Motivation (IR)
A type of extrinsic motivation wherein individuals more fully transform the regulation into their own so that it will emanate internalized motivation from their sense of self.
Motivation Due to Self-Protection (SP)
Involves the internalization of external controls, which are then applied through self-imposed pressures to avoid guilt or to maintain self-esteem
External Motivation (EM)
Involves engaging in a behavior only to satisfy external pressures or achieve externally imposed rewards.
Unmotivated Action (UA)
A state of lacking an intention to act that results from not valuing an activity, not feeling competent to do it, or not believing it will yield a desired outcome.
