Understanding more about behavior and its impact on performance

Much of Hay Group’s work is grounded in academic enquiry and evidence. David McClelland’s research began a focus on human motivation, competencies and self-image that continues in our work with clients and in our collaboration with research partners. We are keen to work with researchers whose work or data adds to our collective understanding in these areas:

ESCI research
If you are using the ESCI with staff or the ESCI-U with students, we welcome proposals. If your proposal meets our criteria you will be offered electronic copies of the assessment, scoring instructions and a score key, to facilitate low cost printing and distribution, in return for a copy of the research data and results. More information is available in the ESCI research criteria.

LSI research
If you are using the LSI with staff or students, we welcome proposals. If your proposal meets our criteria you will be offered electronic copies of the assessment, scoring instructions and a score key, to facilitate low cost printing and distribution, or an online LSI account at a discounted price. In return for approval we ask for a copy of your completed research study. More information is available in the LSI research criteria.
