What motivates you in the work place?

Answer 1

Different things motivate different people in their careers. Some are motivated by passion for the work. Others are motivated by their family who they want to provide for. Think about what motivates you to keep going.

Answer 2

According to Frederick Herzberg, there are many factors that motivate people at work; hygiene factors (salary, security, status, supervision, working conditions, company policy and interpersonal relationships), and motivation factors (achievement, responsibility, recognition, growth). These factors can either cause satisfaction, and hence motivation, or dissatisfaction. Herzberg noted that satisfaction and dissatisfaction are not opposites, but are separate, i.e. the opposite of satisfaction is no satisfaction, not dissatisfaction, and vice versa. Hygiene factors are more likely to motivate low-paid, low-skilled workers and motivation factors are more likely to motivate higher-paid, higher-skilled workers.

Answer 3

People are motivated by many things in the workplace. The most basic motivation is the need for money. Many people find their work uninteresting or worse, but continue because they need the money. Receiving a raise or bonus can be a motivator, too. Additional motivations include co-workers with whom you have a good relationship, the general environment of the workplace, tasks that are interesting or challenging, and recognition by co-workers or managers that you are contributing toward reaching a common goal.

You should do some self-assessment before the job search process. Knowing what motivates you is important. Employers want to know what works to keep you interested and invested in your position. Just do not state that your number one motivating factor is money. That seems a bit shallow.

Answer 5

Some people say that money motivates workers; other say that recognition is the main motivator. The motivations might vary from person to person and from workplace to workplace. The chief motivators might be money and the desire for approval.
