The research behind the MOJO SURVEY goes back five decades and is based on the pioneering work of McGregor, Hertzberg, Hackman and Oldham into what makes a good job. MOJO measures how employees experience their job and how well designed the job is to be intrinsically motivating – which is one of the key drivers of employee engagement. For those interested in learning more about work design and creating intrinsically motivating jobs, we suggest the following resources:

• Work Design: J. Richard Hackman and Greg R. Oldham
• The Human Side Of Enterprise: Douglas McGregor
• Motivation To Work: Frederick Herzberg
• Drive: Daniel Pink
• How Well-Designed Work Makes Us Smarter: Sharon K. Parker and Gwenith G. Fisher, MIT Sloan Spring 2022
• Inner Work Life: Teresa M. Amabile and Steven J. Kramer, HBR May 2007
