The motivation measure was a version of the Motivation at Work Scale translated, adapted, and tested with temporary agency workers by Lopes and Chambel.
“We measured motivation using a version of the MAWS, originally developed by Gagné and colleagues [52] and duly translated, adapted, and tested with TAWs by Lopes and Chambel [25].”

“However, as argued by Lopes and Chambel [25], because temporary work is usually characterized by less job security [29,30], there are no differences between the introjected and the external motives.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
