Motivation
In essence, motivation is the art of getting people to do
things because they want to, or because they see some
benefit.
At its most crude, motivation in the workplace is
linked to pay.
It has subsequently been proved that pay is not the only
motivator and in certain circumstances does not act as a
motivator at all
Intrinsically – ENJOYMENT OF THE WORK ITSELF
Extrinsically – MONEY IS THE MAIN MOTIVATOR
ALSO MOTIVATION IS NOT ONE SIZE FITS ALL

IF MOTIVATORS ARE IN PLACE, THEN WORKERS WILL USE THEIR INITIATIVE, BE
MORE POSITIVE & TAKE MORE CARE……AND BE
TIME ON THESE FACTORS. THEY DID NOT POSITIVELY MOTIVATE PEOPLE.
F W Herzberg “Work and the Nature of Man 1996” 2 Factor Theory
•
A fundamental finding of Herzberg’s work was that the design of
jobs has the biggest impact on the levels of motivation.
•
Jobs should be designed to allow employees to achieve personal
targets and goals, and there should be opportunities to offer
praise and recognition.
•
Herzberg criticised for classifying pay as a hygiene factor and
arguing that pay could not motivate staff.
• Boosting motivators and tackling
hygiene factors should be done at
the same time by management.
