I have other motivations, such as learning useful knowledge for my future career, getting to feel a sense of achievement, and the ability to grow and develop throughout my time in school. However, I can think of plenty of people at my school who would absolutely study harder if pay was involved. A friend of mine actually does get paid $20 dollars for every A she gets in a year, which she has said is a reason for her to work harder. It really depends on the person, where they’re at in their academic career, and their mindset toward learning.In your employment experiences, have you ever worked harder to obtain a raise or as a result of receiving a large raise?I have only ever had one job, where a lot of my motivation to work my hardest stemmed from the fast-paced nature of the job. A pay raise was not an expectation of mine at all, and I felt satisfied with the amount of money I was getting paid. However, working in the food industry a lot of the time requires all of your energy due to never-ending customer demands. I don’t think I could’ve possibly worked any harder than I already was even if a raise was a likely possibility. However, I have seen an example of this idea in the show The Office, when Jim begins to work harder when his corporate manager throws out the idea of giving him a raise in the near future.Do you agree with Herzberg about the effects of pay? Are there other things not related to pay that would motivate you to work harder? Which ones?I think it definitely varies person-to-person, but overall money is not a valuable motivator. For example, an article I read in my last English class titled More Than Job Satisfaction pointed out that zookeepers tend to be incredibly passionate and motivated about the work they get to do. The average annual salary of a zookeeper is $25,000, and yet this group of workers are some of the most likely to volunteer outside of work in activities related to conservation. (American Psychological Association, 2013). As Herzberg states, intrinsic motivation, such as feeling a sense of achievement, recognition, responsibility, and personal growth is more important to most people compared to extrinsic motivation like money. Thank you for reading!Please reply to this classmate’s post.BusinessBusiness – Other
