At work, I enjoy tinkering and have the opportunity to go solve interesting problems.

At home - I enjoy tinkering and that feeling of accomplishment with a job well done, whether that's washing my car, or making my home automation system do things that it wasn't intended to do.

If I think about it - these are both driven by a desire to be known as someone who can "do things," i.e. "I want the credit." [1]
