Motivation and Incentives
摘要
Motivation refers to a process of inducing and stimulating an individual to act in certain manner. In the context of an organization, motivation implies encouraging and urging the employees to perform to the best of their capabilities so as to achieve the desired goals of the organization. Motivation is not necessarily linked to job satisfaction, but to a match between incentives (from management) and motives (of the individual employee) (Helmold, 2021). For an employee to be motivated, four aspects must be in harmony as shown in Fig. 9.1: individual triggers, personal capabilities, social boundaries, and situational enablement (Helmold, 2022). Whereas the individual triggers (want to do) and personal capabilities (able to do) are internal triggers, social boundaries (allowed to do) and the situational enablement (possible to do) are external triggers.
