We are often told: the higher the reward, the greater the motivation. But what if our motivation comes from something else? What if we aren't motivated by material incentive at all?
This video illustrates the "surprising" factors of motivation. But after watching the video, you may find that the information isn't that surprising after all.
People are more motivated by purpose, studies found. When given total autonomy, employees were more creative and displayed more motivation.
The idea that we are driven to perform better when given more freedom and autonomy is not new. But it certainly does seem to be a difficult concept for many leaders and managers to adhere to. When we are driven to succeed by feelings of purpose and mastery of skills, we are more highly invested in our tasks and more motivated to perform.

In my capstone project, one aspect I looked at was motivation--I feel motivation is completely different based on incentives. Good video for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThis video in itself was pure motivation to me. I really enjoyed all the studies that were done; particularly the one in India-as it shows all levels of people in the motivation factor. My favorite idea from the video was " Pay people enough to take money off the table." I can't tell you how much truth there is here. Thanks for sharing this video.
