    The document discusses work motivation and how it was measured in a study. It used the Work Extrinsic and Intrinsic Motivation Scale (WEIMS) questionnaire to assess participants' levels of six types of work motivation defined by self-determination theory: intrinsic motivation, integrated regulation, identified regulation, introjected regulation, external regulation, and amotivation. The WEIMS includes 18 questions rated on a 7-point Likert scale. Scores for each motivation type are calculated as the mean of responses to the 3 questions associated with that type.

    WORK MOTIVATION (Why Do You Do Your Work?

    )
    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.
