A unique compendium of international investigations into motivation and performance, this book offers chapters by industrial and organizational psychologists from the United States, Europe, Australia, and Japan as they share their theories, concepts, empirical evidence, and practical evidence regarding the subject.
The volume focuses on three distinct themes:
* the relationship between motivation and performance
* practical examples of building and strengthening the motivating potential with particular attention paid to productivity and the health of the employees
* the development of work motivation over time and the change of the relative importance of central variables
Work Motivation provides an exceptional blend of modern theoretical approaches, technologically sound techniques for solving practical problems, and empirical results to prove theoretical and technical validities.

On balance, Work Motivation is a significant contribution, for at least two reasons. First, its broad international scope provides a relatively rare assessment of the generality of the human phenomena related to the meaning of work, the desire to work, and the importance of work throughout large parts of the world. North American readers have not been exposed to enough research and theory of such cosmopolitan scope in the past. Second, this book provides further justification for the statement I published nearly a decade ago (Pinder, 1984) that goal setting is the most viable and -- now I would add -- vibrant approach to understanding and influencing the motivation to work. I strongly recommend this volume to students and teachers of international management and to those who are interested in a variety of issues related to the world of work.
