There are many different things that can motivate people; every persons motivation can be different, for example:
Challenges of a new task
Wanting to do well
Constant learning
Keeping busy
Not wanting to let people down
Progression prospects
Increased customer satisfaction (internal & external)
Drive to want to do the best you can do to your ability
Money increases
Holidays
Family
A new purchase!
Meeting new people
All of these things can be motivators for different people.
Motivators can be put into 4 categories
Physiological – Water, food things that are necessity to survive
Safety – Freedom, comfort things that make us feel secure and safe
Love – Acceptance, being part of a team
Esteem – Important projects, recognition
Self actualisation – Personal development
Other theories are:
Hygiene factors things that may not motivate but may cause unhappiness if not met and motivating factors that encourage people to work harder.
The most motivating technique within our team is recognition and being part of a successful team. I selected the model of Esteem and Self- actualisation, as we are a young team with drive and ambition.
We are unable to control pay and bonuses but we are able to progress and give 110% making us feel motivated and gives a sense of Self- actualisation.
This was implemented by giving praise and recognition when a member of the team is working hard and achieving goals and objectives.
