Rating dimensions

Methodology Overview

Our methodology is grounded in the principles of modern motivational psychology (self-determination theory) and focuses on what truly drives people at work. It is built around three dimensions of  human motivation: Autonomy, Competence and Relatedness.

To capture the depth and dynamics of the workplace, these dimensions are measured across 14 categories that span the entire employee lifecycle - from recruitment and onboarding to development, leadership, collaboration, and exit.  

By aligning the principles of motivational psychology with the natural flow of the employee lifecycle, the methodology delivers targeted insights that help organizations understand where motivation thrives, and where it needs to be strengthened. 

Autonomy

The ability to act with purpose and self-direction.​

Competence

The experience of growth, mastery, and meaningful contribution.​
