What Motivates me to work

Recognition and Appreciation for work accomplished, challenging jobs, and independence to do it my way are motivating factors for me. A satisfactory appraisal and good pay are also essential. Furthermore, a good work culture that eliminates any scope for office politics is crucial. Lastly, a communicative atmosphere that allows us to share our ideas and contribute to the company's success is highly motivating.

What motivates me now is having a good, supportive boss at work who is able to guide and direct me. This kind of leadership can lead you to other things like challenging work, good compensation, good colleagues, learning & development, overseas travel, and much more.

It all comes down to the person in charge. If he is a roadblock, your career is jeopardized as long as you remain in that organization.

Hi,

For me, the following factors play an important role when it comes to motivation to work:

1. Job Profile/Challenging and New assignments
2. Monetary benefits
3. Congenial and healthy atmosphere (with peers as well as superiors)
4. Openness to change and innovate
5. Employee-friendly policies

I personally feel that if we are able to help employees when they need it the most, we succeed in employee retention.

1. Can't sit tight for two hours... life is so boring without work/her.

2. Work/she is a delight... I found it when admitted in a hospital for three days separated from her. If you want to check it out, go and lock yourself in a room for 72 hrs :).

3. Work/she is interesting... and gives me pleasure like a newly found girlfriend every time I meet her/work at our place. I love to see her daily with a new look. :D

4. Work/she is my love and there is belongingness. I feel happy that work/she is unique and made only for me. What I do with her/work is only for our betterment. We have great romance with each other when we blend together.

5. Work/she gives me happiness, generates prestige and respect in society whenever she is with me, so that we can go on dancing to the tunes of life together and we are inseparable.
Sorry, I can't find any other suitable motivations towards my lady love other than these.

MANY FACTORS MOTIVATES US TO WORK.

THESE INCLUDE;

INDEPENDENCE: The freedom to run your business activities as you wish; the opportunity to "be your own boss.”

Do you ever feel restricted? Do you feel overcome by rules and red tape? Do you often feel in disagreement with superiors?

RECOGNITION: The tangible rewards you get for doing a job well, such as being singled out in a publication or speech.

How important is winning to you? How do you feel when others receive recognition? Do you go out of your way to win awards?

ACHIEVEMENT: The feeling that you get from successfully accomplishing a job...overcoming obstacles and obtaining goals.

Is your performance relative to your effort? How do you feel when you have completed a task? What kind of goals do you set for yourself?

LEISURE TIME: The amount of time that you have free to use as you wish and the extent of enjoyment that you get from this time.

Do you find yourself neglecting things? Have you postponed a desired activity? Do you really enjoy your leisure me?

POWER: The sense of control that you feel you have over your destiny and the destiny of others...your feelings of influence to direct the behavior of others.

Do you feel that you have control over your destiny? Do people tend to lean on you, ask your approval? Do you find yourself doing things you'd rather not do?

PRESTIGE: The respect accorded you by your peers and by business or community associates...how others feel you compare with your peers.

Is prestige important to you? Do others tend to hold you in esteem? Do you find yourself performing to gain esteem?

MONEY: The amount of personal financial income provided by your job.

Are you proud of what you earn? Do you tend to talk about money or how you spend, save, or invest it?

PRESSURE: The constant feeling or need to show continuing improvement in your job performance.

Do you feel guilty about not exerting enough effort? Do you continually feel that you must do more? Do you want continual motivation from superiors?

SELF ESTEEM: Your feeling of self-worth...how you feel you measure up to your peers.

Are you confident that you do as well as you can? Do you feel guilty about poor performance? Are you satisfied with your performance?

FAMILY LIFE: The amount and quality of family activities that you engage in.

Do you spend enough time with your family? Is time meaningful when with them? Do they talk about the time that you spend with them?

SECURITY: The certainty that you feel of maintaining your position...the feeling that tomorrow will be at least as good as today.

Is job security important to you? Are you afraid to try something new? Do you do things that tend to secure your job?

PERSONAL GROWTH: The feeling of growing as an individual or becoming more competent, more efficient—a better person.

Do you think that you have grown over the past year? Do you do specific things that result in improvement? Do you have plans for doing more?

According to me, the best five motivators at the workplace should be:

1. Positive environment in the office
2. Supportive staff
3. Challenging work (with criteria for job rotation)
4. Consistent boss (who can keep his commitments)
5. Accountability for your work

There are many motivators for me, but looking around at the present scenario, the corporate sector is more or less getting into political drama, and blame games are common in many organizations. The fear of the boss is the second important thing. Bosses often portray themselves as open to feedback, but the reality is that they may not truly listen to feedback. Working under stress is not as difficult as working under fear.

If you want a self-motivated employee in your organization, try to understand their human perspective and don't treat them as if they were a robot.

Money can motivate some under certain conditions. For money to motivate an individual's performance, certain conditions must be met. First, money must be important for the individual, but it is not important for everybody. High achievers, for instance, are intrinsically motivated; money would have little impact on these people.

Second, broad-based stock options sound great as motivation because employees see themselves as owners rather than just workers.

Third, achievement, power, and affiliation are three important motivations at work. The drive to excel, to achieve in relation to a set of standards, and to strive to succeed motivates many. Similarly, power involves the need to make others behave in a way that they would not have otherwise, and finally, the desire for friendly and close interpersonal relationships is a tremendous motivation.

Certain factors such as company policies and administration, supervision, and salary when adequate in a job placate workers. Relationships with seniors, supervisors, work conditions, relationships with peers, the company's overall image, performance appraisals, growth, and learning factors are all motivators for some or others.
