So you ask, “what makes a person motivated in his/her job?” Since this is a question leaning to the soft sciences, there are no rigid answers to it. Answers may vary from person to person and collecting such responses will only get you a long list of varied answers.

Douglas McGregor was brilliant enough to hypothesize two theories regarding job motivation. His first theory states that it is innate for humans to dislike work and will shun away from it if he/she can. People also prefer to be instructed rather than taking responsibility. If these theories are true (has been proven), then managers should think of ways how they could possibly motivate them (incentive – disincentive maybe?).

Some signs of demotivation

* Increased absenteeism/sickness.
* Incomplete or careless work.
* Lack of concentration.

Motivate yourself

Before you can inspire others to extend themselves, you need to develop your own sense of motivation. Here are some tips to help you.

* Build your confidence and develop self-belief. Success doesn�t always go to the strongest person, but to the person with the greatest conviction.
* If you work alone, identify an understanding person with whom you can talk through business issues and who will encourage you. A mentor can help here. Read the rest of this entry »

Your staff may say money is a motivator � but look closely and you will find that it is frequently more of a stepping-stone to another goal: for instance, money to travel, retire early or a desire for recognition.

* A sense of belonging motivates � the smaller the group to which someone belongs, the stronger the loyalty, motivation and effort.
* Participation motivates � people feel more motivated when they feel their involvement in a project is important and valued. Often we exclude our greatest assets � the people around us � from decisions in which they could be usefully included.
* Challenges motivate and people often rise to the occasion. However, it can also be demotivating if they are too difficult, or conversely, too easy to achieve.
* Motivation needs recognition and reward � even if it�s something as simple as a thank you.

The best stage to be in team development is the stage where the team starts to work together as a single unit. There will still be disagreements and small conflicts – although this keeps the relationships alive and motivates people to think of new ideas and develop solutions for any problems. What’s important is for everyone to remain dynamic and not to fall into complacency.

Of course, the road that lead to this is long and hard, and everyone needs to be mature about things in order for team development to progress and for everyone to be motivated to work and do their best. Arguments and disputes are normal in the early stages of team development, but as the team learns to work with each other, they start to work more smoothly with one another.

Being a good listener is one trait each and every manager should have, why? A good leader listens more that they speak letting the facts get through before they make assumptions and decisions. Fairness in problems is a good idea, getting each and everybody their chance to talk to you alone and again to talk to the whole team. They are your best assets for without their work you might not have a job at all. Treat them as your most important asset for they make you who you are. Be impartial in disputes among co-workers and keep an open mind. This is why hiring people you know or relations is a taboo in business for as they say, blood is always thicker than water. Rank should have nothing to do with problems and over sights so treat everybody the same and use the situation to encourage improvement. The best managers listen and take their employees concerns seriously enough to make them feel important not only as a person but as part of the team.

特に鍛錬において、チームリーダーがチームメンバーの手本になることは必須です。 この手本はあなたの同僚の動機付けに大変役立ちます。 これは自然に起こります。それが良いのです。 本当に驚嘆の猿まねです。 あなた個人の動機付けは全体に対する動機付けの本質にならないことは真実ですが、自己またはグループの動機付けはトリガーが必要です。 また個人の動機付けは自分自身から来ます。その他の人があなたを動機付けることはできません。 あなた個人の動機を生かす方法は自分で発見しなくてはなりません。 リーダーとしてあなたは正しいやり方を示し、従業員の動機付けを強調するのに必要な環境を整えなくてはなりません。

Banking is a job that is filled with stress (in today’s recession, which isn’t) with many falling victim to the recession. As companies trim their workforce to save on costs you may be the next in line so make good of your existing job. Feel you can do more? make it known to your boss for instead of hiring from the outside, they usually prefer promotions rather than hiring from the employment pool. Why hire, you may ask when management is cutting down on personnel, there are certain positions that must be filled, essential for operations.
A trimmed down office that lost more than half of their employees normally need one or two to replace the ones shed. Make management know that you are interested for promotion and that you can better be of service in a higher capacity. Drive is what most people lack and what they need to get them on the road to promotion. Valuate yourself and your abilities then bring them up front for management to see, who knows, they might have just been waiting for you to gather courage and experience!
