Motivational predictors of the efficiency of project and productive organizations

This paper investigates psychological predictors of the efficiency of project and product organizations. We used conceptual model of H. Moon and colleagues as a methodological basis. 203 employees of six organizations took part in the empirical study. Hierarchical linear regression analysis revealed prognostic models of the efficacy with non-identical complex of predictors for production (R2=0,455; p=0,0001) and project organizations (R2=0,701; p=0,0001). It was found that the characteristics of organizational level have a bigger predicting ability of efficiency of organizations, rather than individual working activity. It was found that the success of project organizations depends on the complexity and significance of the content of the personal’s activity. The complex of predictors of the efficiency of product organizations includes: organizational experience, motivational orientation towards autonomy, psychological climate. These results can be used to ameliorate the efficiency of the organizations, aiming to impact the psychological resources of the employees.
