This oversimplified, naive generalization-based psychology.) Money is a weak motivator? Wrong! Small money, median income, same as everyone salary - yes, this a weak motivator. I would rather do something to improve my life, rather than wasting my precious time in a cubicle. But let's talk about a lottery, or a mere $250k per year, and, you see, your motivation indicator is getting hard. The ideas of independence and mastery (as a shortest way to the prior) is little bit closer, but, most of individual has their own individual motivations. Some dreams of a status-showing gadgets or a car, some dream to impress a girl next door, or show that silly neighbors who worth what. Some like to go to most expensive restaurants and being served like a top tier, only to go back in a subway. There are as many individual motivators as people around. But one of the "observations" is correct - yes, small money is indeed a weak motivator.) |
