Score each of the 20 statements below using the following scale:

5 = I fully agree
3 = I’m not sure
1 = I fully disagree.

Scores:

A score of between 60 – 100 means you are highly motivated and work in an organisation that values your contribution. Good for you!

A score between 40 – 60 means you lack some motivation, but have sufficient to continue working in your organisation. Look at the questions that you marked with a low score and address these with your boss.

A score between 20 – 40 means you are lacking motivation and that the organisation in which you work has a poor structure for motivating you. You should evaluate your job carefully and decide on a plan of action.
