Re: Intrinsic vs extrinsic reward

[Bob Clements <clementz@kos.net>]

I have undertaken to review the paper offered by Dr. Purchase for two reasons. First, Gawel's work is
the only such empirical claim I've ever encountered. It merits attention. Second, Dr. Purchase is
offering this paper in another forum to lend credence to a political position which is has staked out
as a statistical/research/educational scholar savvy in organizational management. You may review his
expositon at:

Gawel's Article appears to be a synopis of a paper presented by Bellott and Tutor [1], which in turn
looks to have orginated with Tutor's doctoral dissertation research [2]. Gawel seems at least
twice-removed from the data he presents.  (http://www.ericae.net/digests/tm9701.htm)

I've located Mr. Gawel <74gawel@cua.edu>,  and sent him a message with the intent of introducing him
to Dr. Purchase so that they might explore this exception to theory, and the resulting proposition
that teachers, and possibly other professionals (like us) are exempt. Mr. Gawel appears to be a
student in the education department and an adjunct instructor teaching Rhetoric and Compostion (via
computer) in the English department at The Catholic University of America
(http://academics.cua.edu/evals/98fall/ENGLISH.htm).

Gawel's work claims peer review. Perhaps they were fellow rhetoricians?

I've not the resources to spend much time chasing down Tutor's disseration, but I anticipate an
unclear understanding of Herzberg's hygiene theory, and an unclean control for it.


Bob's Rx while awaiting Dr. Purchase's clarification of Gawel's findings:

A. 'One More Time: How Do You Motivate Employees?'
 (http://www.hbsp.harvard.edu/hbsp/prod_detail.asp?87507)

B. Interview with Frederick Herzberg:
 (http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Forum/1650/herzberginterview.htm)

C. Maslow's voice speaks still. I recommend the latest
 book reporting his words: Maslow on Management,
 published in 1998.

 "This is Maslow's most important and most enduring
 book. It had a lasting impact on me." --Peter F.
 Drucker (not unexpected).
