title = "The Utility of Alderfer's ERG Theory of Motivation for Measuring Adult Learner Motivations in Informal Learning Environments",
abstract = "This study examines the utility of Alderfer's Existence, Relatedness, and Growth (ERG) theory as a framework for understanding student motivations in informal learning environments. Data from 1038 students were evaluated to determine the ranking of motivations for studying Aikido; a Japanese martial art. Findings suggest that ERG theory is useful for the creation and interpretation of survey response data but requires additional methodological tools to assess the validity and reliability of its inferences.",
