I would like to assess to what extent employees are motivated by the emotional satisfaction they gain from their work. Therefore, I thought, a good way to assess it would be by measuring emotional/hedonic goal orientation. However I could not find a measure that would be applicable for the workplace situation. Have you any suggestions?
Hello Marco
Is this relevant to what you need?

Dear colleague,
In addition to what other colleagues have suggested here, with respect to measuring the hedonic/emotional dimension of working there may be some value in considering whether individuals experience the search for or presence of a "calling" to their work, and this does not necessarily mean calling as a religious vocation. Individuals with a calling tend to feel emotionally engaged in their work; thus calling may provide an indirect measure of emotional satisfaction for your research. The work of Bryan Dik and Ryan Duffy is quite informative in this regard:
Dik, Bryan J., Eldridge, Brandy M., Steger, Michael F., & Duffy, Ryan D. (2012). Development and validation of the Calling and Vocation Questionnaire (CVQ) and Brief Calling Scale (BCS). Journal of Career Assessment, 20(3), 242-263. doi: 10.1177/1069072711434410
Thank you very much all of you. You all helped me significantly further.
