Motivators/Values

---

This assessment is a combination of research from Harvard University into what drives and motivates individuals in the workplace.  This research discovered that the priority and relative strength of these 7 motivators contribute to and influence the decision making process that guides and individual's unique application of their capacities, skills, and abilities in the workplace.

The assessment shows us how we prioritize our pursuits.   In short, we will prioritize options and choices that reflect our stronger workplace motivators while subordinating those choices with lower workplace motivator scores.

The report measures relative strength of 7 Workplace Motivators:

• Aesthetic -- a drive for harmony, balance, and form.
• Economic -- a drive for economic or practical returns.
• Individualistic -- a drive to stand out as independent and unique.
• Political -- a drive to be in control or have influence.
• Altruistic -- a drive for humanitarian efforts or to help others altruistically.
• Regulatory -- a drive to establish order, routine, structure.
• Theoretical -- a drive for knowledge, learning, and understanding.

Based upon the Harvard research into human motivation, it measures the hierarchy and the relative strength of each of the seven universal human motivators and how they uniquely combine to form the “action steps” an individual will WANT to take as they translate their critical thinking decisions into plans and results. It indicates how a person will try to influence those results in order to reflect and support their most influential motivators.
