Study questions
1.
She might have increased the salary of the employees to make coming to work more intriguing.
2.

Reliability: I believe the research is quite reliable, since they selected a group of random employees to
conduct interviews. And they also interviewed management which provided them with multiple
perspectives.
Generalizability: I don’t think the local evidence is generalizable, because the sample size of the
research was quite small and they only collected data from people who worked at their supermarket.

Single research: Generational Differences in Work Values: Leisure and Extrinsic Values Increasing,
Social and Intrinsic Values Decreasing.
Generational Differences in Work Values: Leisure and Extrinsic Values Increasing, Social and
Intrinsic Values Decreasing

Generalizability: good, the sample size is big enough N=16507. And looked at different generations.
Integrating Motivational, Social, and Contextual Work Design Features: A Meta-Analytic Summary
and Theoretical Extension of the Work Design Literature

219,625.
Intrinsic motivation and extrinsic incentives jointly predict performance: a 40-year meta-analysis
Validity:
Reliability: quite good, 71 articles referenced this research.
Generalizability: yes. The research this article is based on was collected over 4 decades and consists of
9 meta-analysis. N = 212,468.
