Why I Come to Work

Q-methodology activity

Create your participant identifier

Use initials and a number you will remember, such as MB27. Do not enter your full name.

Use 2–20 letters and numbers. A hyphen or underscore is also allowed.

Step 2 of 4

First, sort into three broad piles

Drag each statement into the pile that best reflects your current perspective. You can also select a card, then select a pile.

0 of 28 sorted
Condition of instruction: Think about the reasons you currently come to work. Sort each statement based on your own experience—not how employees should feel or how your employer might want you to respond.

Step 3 of 4

Build your final Q-sort

Drag every statement into the fixed grid. Each column fills from the bottom upward. Statements in the same column receive the same score.

0 of 28 placed
Final sorting instruction: Place statements that are most like why you come to work toward +5 and those least like why you come to work toward −5. Place neutral, uncertain, or less important statements near 0.

Tip: If dragging is difficult, select a card and then select the destination column. Select the source area above to return a placed card.
