Last week I blogged about how to influence people by asking irrational questions.
Maslow was a psychologist of the 20th century that that tried to decipher the science behind human motivation, developing his famous hierarchy of needs.
A key component of motivation in the workplace is compensation. Logic would tell us that the more compensation, the more motivated your employees will be. However, modern psychologists like Alfie Kohn have proven this assumption wrong, specially in knowledge related areas.
Dan Pink has also tackled the subject of the relationship between compensation and motivation in the workplace. In this interview by the Curious Cat Blog, some of the basic ideas behind his book are described, including and how they can be applied at work.
How are you compensating employees today? How is that working for you?
