An Experimental Examination of Work Motivation Taxonomies
通过比较度量与非度量尺度方法分析800名销售员对目标的评分，检验了多种工作动机分类学，发现内在-外在分组得到支持，但更复杂的分类可能更合适。
Several taxonomies of work motivation were tested by comparing the results of metric and nonmetric scaling methods in the analysis of goals rated by 800 salesmen. While the results of the cluster andfactor analysis support an intrinsic-extrinsic grouping, the Small Space Analysis map indicates that more complex groupings of motivational variables are appropriate. Maslow's fivefold need categories are consistent with the results.
