Cross-tabulations of the individual items, by gender, provide some additional insight. Consistent with the lack of significance using the intrinsic factor score, only one item associated with intrinsic motivation displays a significant difference in the distribution of responses between men and women. Women tend to rate the company’s growth prospects
as somewhat less of a motivation, relative to the men in the sample. In contrast, four of the eight extrinsic motivation items are characterized by significant differences (at least 90% confidence) in the distributions, with women tending to provide higher assessments for interpersonal relationships, company policy and administration, and fair evaluation, and
fewer low assessments than men for company policy and administration.
