Table 3 Alternative models tested

From: Measuring health workers’ motivation composition: validation of a scale based on Self-Determination Theory in Burkina Faso

Model A

Five-factor model corresponding to Fig. 1

Model B

Four-factor model, combining the integrated and identified types of regulation which have proven difficult to separate in previous research

Model C

Five-factor model as Model B but dividing external regulation into a social and an economic subfactor

Model D

Two-factor model, differentiating autonomous (intrinsic motivation, integrated/identified regulation; AUT) and controlled (introjected, external regulation; CTRL) motivation
