The study identifies and compares the desired needs and values that motivate supervisors and rank-and-file workers as a basis of a conceptual model of what motivate selected Filipino workers to work. Specifically, the study seeks to find out the important needs and values desired by the supervisors and the rank-and-file workers. The study also explores whether a significant relationship exist in the rankings of needs and values by the supervisors and rank-and-file workers. A descriptive research design utilizing survey method was employed. Ninety-two respondents (51 rank-and-file and 41 supervisors) completed the motivation questionnaire, which was developed by the researcher. The ranking of needs by the supervisors is as follows: 1) challenging job, 2) achievement, 3) advancement, 4) recognition, and 5) security. The rank-and-file workers ranked the needs in this order: 1)security, 2) achievement, 3) challenging job, 4) recognition, and 5) advancement. In the ranking of values, both the supervisors and the rank-and-file ranked pakikipagkapwa (shared inner self) first, concern of the family second, and economic stability third. Results also showed that there is no significant difference in the rankings of needs and values by the supervisors and the rank-and-file workers at the .05 level of significance using the Kruskal-Wallis One Way Analysis of Variance by Ranks.
