Many people wonder why employees do the jobs that they do? There is a list of the ten top motivators when people consider jobs. They are:
#1. Money #6. Advancement
#2. Recognition #7. Freedom
#3. Time off #8. Personal Growth
#4. Piece of the action #9. Fun
#5. Favorable Work #10. Prizes
While reviewing these I started to wonder who they interviewed to get these statistics. The reason is, I think mine would be moved around a bit. To me, money and recognition are important, but I also want to make sure I have fun at work and have room for growth. As Feinberg illustrated, the most basic question employees have is "What's in it for me?" Supervisors show that above all, appreciation is what employees want the most. This suprised me because I figured the most important was good wages, however, it was ranked in the middle of the list.
