Sažetak
The concept of self-induced concatenated demotivation describes the "chain“ of demotivational processes and interactions of employees, in the contexts of postsocialism, job characteristics, dominant forms of motivation, and group cohesion in work organizations. The aim of the preliminary research was to construct a questionnaire to measure the concept of self- induced concatenated demotivation, and the relations between its latent dimensions. The study included a “snowball“ sample of 196 participants aged 20 to 65, of both genders, with heterogeneous professions and degrees in education. Based on the results of factor analysis three latent dimensions have been obtained, that account for only 36% of the total variance of the manifest area of self- induced concatenated demotivation, which we have named: pessimism/rationalization, social orientation, the ability to evaluate other people. The questionnaire to measure self-induced concatenated demotivation of employees has proved to be a low but satisfactorily reliable measuring instrument for all three dimensions of the concept.
