INTERPRETING YOUR RESULTS
The higher the , the closer work competenciesand work preference match
Correlation > 0.70 = close relationship
Correlation of 0.50 or 0.60 = modestrelationship
Correlation < 0.40 = little relationship
Correlation can be further tested statistically to
determine significance

DISCUSSION
1. What are some ways you could use therank difference correlation?
2. When people are not competent toperform their jobs at a satisfactory level,what happens? Could this be happening inhealth care and other work settings?
3. How can professional competence in yourfield of study or major be raised? 14

Core work areas are simple, routine, and repetitivetasks (data entry, recording keeping)Group leaders and managers who monitor and
supervise work are performing Core activitiesChallenge levels are low if people do Core level workmost of the timePeople who are overqualified for a particular job or do
not like what they are doing will not be motivated to do
their bestHowever, Core activities done well, on time, and in a
cost-effective manner keep organizations in business

Unique work areas are a persons prime areas offormal study and demonstrated competence
Unique work activities require knowledge,expertise, or competence based on education,
training, or experience
When people are competent to perform Unique
work activities, their talents closely match jobrequirements

Expanding work areas include demanding, oftencomplex and mentally stimulating work activitiesthat are high in motivating potential
Performing Expanding work satisfies Maslowsthree progressively higher level needs of belonging,self-esteem, and self-actualization

Step 1
Select 5 or 6 activities or types of work that you do on
a regular basis and write them in the columns (#1,#2, #3) at the top of the grid.

Step 2
Rate each activity on the ten dimensions of the
C-U-E model using the operationally defined 7-pointrating scale described in Table 10.1.

Step 4
Divide the sum of each column by the number of
variables on which it was rated to get an average.If you rated your job on all ten variables of themodel, divide by 10. If you used six variables,
divide by 6, and so on. This rough estimate of yourlevel of work is only a guide.
