Developed in Belgium in 2000 as a result of recent evolutions in cognitive science research, Inventory of Work Attitude and Motivation (iWAM) is widely used in North America, Europe and now in Australia.
iWAM is the only diagnostic that specifically identifies 48 personal work and job preferences, in highest and lowest preference, while also contrasting and comparing preferences against those of the Australian working population (Census, 2011).
