Teleometrics Instruments: Motivation

Help managers to:

Challenge their beliefs about employee motivation

Compare the motivators they offer with the real concerns people have about work

Discover if their approach is on- or off-target

A manager can fail to stimulate someone's effort and commitment by emphasising factors which are of little motivational importance to the individual, whose real needs and aspirations may be frustrated.

Two Teleometrics instruments enable a manager to highlight the conditions which are of concern to employees, and to see if his or her current approach is capitalising on the opportunities for improved staff motivation.

The work of Abraham Maslow and Frederick Herzberg has stood the test of time. These instruments use their models to plot 'scores' and to display significant differences between a manager's characteristic approach to motivation and the employee needs that should really be addressed.

Management of Motives Index (MMI)

Sixty questions examine a manager's assumptions about the conditions and other factors that motivate employees: how people who are performing below their best should be handled; what aspects of work should be stressed when introducing someone to a job; how to handle problems of morale, and so on.

Responses reveal the relative emphasis given to different types of need and can be compared with research data on 'average' employees' priorities, and the conditions under which they feel they work most productively.

Work Motivation Inventory (WMI)

The WMI reveals exactly how an employee is motivated. Using the same 60 situations as the MMI, but expressed from the employee's point of view, respondents indicate their personal needs and preferences and the degree to which they feel these are being satisfied.

By comparing MMI and WMI profiles, the manager can identify opportunity factors: issues that he or she is emphasising but that may have little motivational relevance, or those that should be given more attention.

A comparison of the WMI with the MMI reveals what conditions the employee feels are important versus the motivational support provided by the manager.
