Employee Motivation

Employee motivation

Emotion or attitude?

Employee motivation describes the state of a person who causes them to select a particular alternative course of action to achieve a specific result. It ensures that this person maintains their behavior in terms of direction and intensity.

Experts describe the impulse to come to work as a “feeling” that accompanies the employee in their everyday life. Whether it’s a feeling or an attitude, every employer needs to understand that employee motivation is key to increasing the willingness to perform.

Influenced by a meaningful work

As a rule, the state of employees can be influenced, for example, by the behavior of managers or by the corporate culture. However, as a rule, influencing employee motivation involves maintaining performance behavior, developing it safely, or changing it.

A distinction is made between intrinsic drive (motivated by oneself, enjoyment of work, work is meaningful, a challenge or the opportunity to develop oneself) or extrinsic trigger (inspired by external stimuli such as a positive personnel appraisal or a salary increase or negative like the fear of being fired).
