Abstract

A comparison was made on perceptions on 26 factors relating to motivation, satisfaction, and goal setting/feedback. Surveys of over 550 Israelis and 1100 Singaporeans were compared to a US database on more than 8000 computer personnel. The Job Diagnostic Survey for Data Processing (JDS/DP) instrument was used to collect all data. The survey results indicated a mismatch in individual growth need and the job's motivating potential for programmers in Israel and Singapore. A mismatch also exists for Singaporean programmer/analysts. A procedure for improvement is discussed.
