Evaluating the framework of The Integrative Model of Work Attitudes, Motivation, and Performance, byRaymond A. Katzell, Donna E. Thompson , 1990
Motivation is Psychology drive to achieve goals.
There are many theories of motivation that can be combined then the capacity of each theory will predict the reality of people’s behaviour in work environment.

The constructs were selected on the basis of their importance as shown by past research and because of their seeming complementarily rather than redundancy with one another. The framework connects the constructs causally on the basis of both logic and empirical evidence. It is expressed in the form of a path diagram amenable to empirical test. It is expected that such an integrative will provide a better basis for understanding and improving work attitudes, motivation, and performance than do the more limited approaches
The approach of Katzell and Thompson, is organizing the different variables in one single framework and link them.

2. Work environment: all the characteristic of the work, in particular in the work pl ...
