Appreciation at Work
Overview
Appreciation at Work is a company based in the USA, operating within the Corporate Services industry, specifically focusing on professional training. The company is known for its development of the Motivating By Appreciation (MBA) Inventory, an online assessment tool designed to identify employees' preferred methods of receiving appreciation from their colleagues. This tool categorizes appreciation into five primary languages: Words of Affirmation, Quality Time, Acts of Service, Tangible Gifts, and Physical Touch. A recent study published in the Strategic HR Review examined the internal consistency of the MBA Inventory, analyzing data from over 114,000 employees and employing a nonparametric measure of internal consistency. The findings indicated that the MBA Inventory possesses acceptable internal consistency, suggesting its effectiveness in identifying individual preferences for appreciation in the workplace. The company’s focus on research and assessment tools underscores its commitment to enhancing workplace dynamics and employee satisfaction through targeted recognition strategies.
