Motivation19 is complete, enjoy…

I talk about the guest speaker at our local Chamber of Commerce luncheon last Friday, a webpage I found that has some good information, and some information about Frederick Herzberg. You’ll have to listen.

From MindTools.com
One of the key figures in the development of the theory of motivation was Frederick Herzberg, who closely studied the sources of employee motivation in the 1950s and 1960s. What he discovered was that the things that demotivate people are different from the things that motivate them.
Herzberg’s “Hygiene Factors” (the things that made people unhappy and demotivated) were obstructive company policy, unhelpful administration, intrusive supervision, bad working relationships, poor conditions, uncompetitive salaries, low status and job insecurity.

The things that he discovered motivated people were quite different from the things he found demotivated people. Herzberg’s motivators were achievement; recognition for that achievement; an enjoyable job; responsibility; growth; and advancement.
