Achievement Motivation and Work Attitudes Predicting Work Efficiency of Information Technology Employees

Abstract

This research aimed to 1) study the level of work efficiency, achievement motivation, and work attitudes of employees, 2) study the correlation between achievement motivation and work efficiency of employees, 3)study the correlation between work attitudes and work efficiency of employees, and 4)predict work efficiency of employees from achievement motivation and work attitudes. Samples were 102 employees responsible for information technology of a bank. Research instrument was a questionnaire. Statistics used for analysing data were percentage, mean, standard deviation, Pearson correlation coefficient, and stepwise multiple regression analysis. The results showed that 1)work efficiency of employees was in a high level ( = 4.30, S.D. = 0.58), achievement motivation was in a high level ( = 4.55, SD = 0.57), and achievement motivation was in a high level ( = 4.30, S.D. = 0.58), 2) achievement motivation was negatively correlated (r = -0.210) with work efficiency of employees at a statistical significance level of 0.05, 3) work attitudes were positively correlated (r = 0.419) with work efficiency of employees at a statistical significance level of 0.01, and 4) work attitudes could predict work efficiency, considered as 17.60%.
