What keeps you going at the workplace?
Is it the money? Is it the work itself? Or is it there are friendly colleagues?
I am really fascinated by what motivates a person to work.
I've quit my high paying job to do something which I find it more satisfying. To me, it is the work that I'm doing that matters most. Not the salary, not anything else.
But to some people, the working conditions can motivate. Nice big office with lots of coffee in the pantry could actually make a person to perform better. Strange!
Or to some, lots of hottie chicks in office could make a guy stick with his employer.
I've been reading this management psychologist Frederick Herzberg of his Motivation Hygiene Theory. He said stuff like achievement, responsibility, advancement, the work itself and the like that motivate a person while other stuff like salary, working conditions, company policy and coworker relationship don't actually motivate people.
So what about you? What keeps you going at your workplace
