For the assessment of motivation in organizational contexts
What is it?
The WOMI (Work and Organizational Motivation Inventory) is a test to assess the motivational drivers of company resources. From the profile, it is possible to understand whether the factor that drives people to work well is related, for example, to their passion or their desire to grow (intrinsic motivation) or whether more weight is given to economic recognition, status, or the possibilities of combining work and home (extrinsic motivation), or even whether there is a balance between intrinsic and extrinsic motivation.
