Respond to colleagues postings - Coursework Example

Response to Colleagues’ Postings Response to Colleagues’ Postings Response to Staci’s Posting The post is fairly well researched and the three assumptions underlying the need theories have been highlighted. The other important assumptions of the need theories that can be included include the assumptions that employees have a need to acquire authority, need to develop friendly affiliations and social interactions as well as the need to achieve personal advancement (Pinder, 2008). On the other hand, the relationship between the assumptions worker motivation has also been clearly explained.

Finally, the posting has included sufficient support from the current literature and learning resources However, although the correlation between need theories and affect if fairly well explained, the provided example, does not effectively illustrate the relationship as it related to the organizational workplace.2. Response to Scotts PostingThe post has clearly stated the purpose of the scale construction and questionnaires. In addition, the post effectively explains the critical role of psychometrics in the scale development and assessment.

It is however, important to note that there is no proper description of the main important factors that should be considered before selecting and designing an appropriate measurement scale in during a survey research. The post also does not contain the required two research question formats.3. Response to Olubunmi’s PostingThe two most important factors that should be considered during the selection and design of appropriate measurement scale in a survey research all well described. The post has also fairly well explained the purpose and significance of psychometrics in the development and assessment of measurement scales.

Finally, the two research question formats provided are generally appropriate and properly justified.ReferencesPinder, C. (2008). Work Motivation In Organizational Behavior. New York, NY: Psychology Press.
