Part of my study is to explore the differences between teachers’ motivation and job satisfaction in public and private schools. I intend to use Work Preference Inventory ( Amabile, 1985) to examine intrinsic and extrinsic motivation. I also intend to use WEI to examine the stimulants and obstacles that might impact teachers’ motivation in their work environment in public and private schools.
Hello,
If you can not access the article at your library,
Amabile, T. M., and N. Gryskiewicz. "The Creative Environment Scales: The Work Environment Inventory." Creativity Research Journal 2 (1989): 231–254.
then you could purchase it...

If you can't purchase it, then perhaps e-mailing the first author...

Good luck.
Thank you very much for your reply Adelheid. I do have the article you mentioned above and I tried sending the author an email asking for the possibility to purchase it, but I haven't got a reply yet. I was, therefore, wondering if anybody has used it before; if it was available online anywhere, so that at least I could take a look at the full version until I could figure out how I could purchase it.
Here's the link to articles in RG that use the WEI that may useful in giving alternative leads to finding a copy of the instrument:
