Effect of Cultural Differences on Motivation of Analysts and Programmers: Singapore vs. the United States
基于1985年新加坡与美国调查数据，比较两国分析师和程序员的成长需求强度及工作激励潜力，发现新加坡专业人员的工作激励潜力显著低于美国，提示需要工作丰富化。
A 1985 survey of Singaporean analysts and programmers, on their perceptions on motivation, enables a comparison to earlier U.S. survey results. Growth need strength (GNS) of U.S. analysts is significantly higher than that of U.S. programmers. The GNS of Singaporean analysts and programmers was found to be equivalent to their U.S. counterparts. However, there were significant differences between the U.S. and Singaporean computer professionals for the other side of the motivation equation, the job’s motivating potential. The Singaporean motivating potential score (MPS) was significantly lower for both job types, indicating a need for job enrichment and enlargement.
