Testing multiplicative models does not require ratio scales
Hugh J. Arnold,Martin G. Evans +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a method to test unambiguously for the presence of interaction when variables are measured on ratio, interval, or ordinal scales is presented. But the test is invariant under all linear transformations of the form aX + b of E, V, or both E and V. This invariance is contrasted to the wide fluctuations in zero order correlations between motivational force and the E × V product shown by Schmidt 1973.

The motivation to work
TL;DR: Motivation and performance are not merely dependent upon environmental needs and external rewards as discussed by the authors, but instead, satisfaction came most often from factors intrinsic to work: achievements, job recognition, and work that was challenging, interesting, and responsible.
