motivational analysis of organizations

or eighteen of the judges, representing 95 to 100 percent agreement, indicating a high
degree of content validity.
Coefficients of correlation were computed between the scores on this scale and selfrankings
assigned to the work dimensions by 120 senior medical students as follows:
■ Creativity = .86;
90 ❘❚
■ Economics = .64;
■ Independence = .39;
■ Status = .51;
■ Service = .73;
■ Academics = .68;
■ Security = .65;
■ Collegiality = .35; and
■ Work conditions = .47.
Given the limitations of self-rankings, these coefficients of correlation indicate a
high degree of concurrent validity; all coefficients are significant at the .01 level.
Cluster analysis of the coefficients of correlation obtained on this scale (N = 309
senior medical students from seven medical schools) indicated that the original ten work
values fell into four clusters. The first cluster consisted of status, security, economics,
and work conditions; the second consisted of creativity and service values; the third
consisted of academics and independence values; and the fourth consisted of collegiality
and rural. The first cluster consists of extrinsic dimensions, and the next three are more
intrinsic in nature.
Test-retest reliability was established by using twenty-six respondents. The testretest
coefficients of correlation obtained were as follows:
■ Creativity = .81;
■ Economics = .61;
■ Independence = .87;
■ Status = .81;
■ Service = .75;
■ Academics = .57;
■ Security = .51;
■ Collegiality = .57; and
■ Work conditions = .29.
Except for work conditions, all coefficients are significant at the .01 level.
