Question

Mindy, a tenured college professor, tells her friend, "I really like this job. I get to set my own hours, work on books from start to finish. I do almost everything I really like to do - talk, think, and write. I know I make a difference in some of the students' lives. At any rate, I think I do. I haven't had an evaluation in nearly five years." Does Mindy's job have a high motivation potential score (MPS)

Answer 1

Answer:

No, Low Feedback

Explanation:

Although Mindy really likes the job because she gets to set my own hours, work on books from start to finish, and do almost everything she really likes to do - talk, think, and write; that would be insufficient to get a high motivation potential score.

Motivation potential score can be defined as an index that determines the behavior of an employee, as a result of major job elements which includes: skill variety, identity, significance, autonomy, and feedback.

Although Mindy rates the job as high on skill variety and autonomy, she has rated it low on feedback when she commented that she haven't had an evaluation in nearly five years.
