Measuring Motivational Forces: The Apter Work Impact Survey (AWIS)


It is increasingly recognised that employee motivation or engagement is an important contributor to performance that can be measured. However, few survey tools really help you to address the big issue, which is to capture the commitment of your people and get them behind your organisation’s goals.

Why is the Apter Work Impact Survey (AWIS) Different?

The Eight Key Values of the AWIS
  • Achievement
  • Enjoyment
  • Fitting In
  • Freedom
  • Personal Power
  • Support from Others
  • Empowering Others
  • Care for Others
While most employee surveys measure a surface jumble of attitudes and opinions that, despite being extensive, reveal only part of the picture; the AWIS measures a structure of underlying values, met and unmet, that matter most in the context of your organisation and its strategy.

Then we apply our experience in Organisational and Leadership Development to make sense of the data for you and set out clear, practical and prioritised recommendations for action.

All of this means that you can be confident that you are better equipped to keep people 'on strategy', target interventions more effectively, and improve your return on people expenditure.


How do we work out "What Matters"?

The data that the AWIS creates enables four key questions to be answered using statistical analyses. "What Matters" is therefore a function of both what's important (as rated by you and your employees) and what's significant, i.e. as well as looking at the size of gaps below, can we rule out the possibility that the gap is down to chance?

Value Conflict: Do managers and employees agree on what is important?

Employee Frustration: Are employees frustrated because of the difference between what they want and what they are getting?

Organisational Strain: Do managers believe that the motives important to organisational success are being satisfied in employees?

Delivery Conflict: Do managers and employees agree on what motivational needs are being met?
