The motivating potential score (MPS) is a single predictive index that combines the core dimensions of the JCM. It measures the degree to which a job has the potential to motivate employees. A high MPS indicates that a job has the potential to satisfy the three critical psychological states that lead to intrinsic motivation: meaningfulness, responsibility, and knowledge of results. The MPS is calculated by multiplying the scores of the core dimensions: skill variety, task identity, and task significance, and then dividing by the degree of autonomy and feedback.
