We used Work Extrinsic and Intrinsic Motivation Scale (WEIMS) (see Appendix I), available
in Tremblay et al. (2009) to measure the level of work motivation. WEIMS had been used in
many published studies (Bolltoft, 2015; Jayaweera, 2015; Kim, 2013; Proenca & Cristina,
2013; Serrata, 2015; Shu, 2015). WEIMS is constructed based on SDT and consists of 18
items that can be divided into six subscales, corresponding to the six types of motivations
postulated by SDT namely IM, INTEG, IDEN, INTRO, EXT, and AMO. Item in each
subscale is scored on a Likert-type scale, from “1” (does not correspond at all) to “7”
(corresponds exactly). The score of each subscale can be generated using the mean score of
the 3 items within the subscale. The Work Self-Determination Index (W-SDI) is used to
express the attainment of either self-determined or nonself-determined motivational profiles.
