Motivation for Engineering Organisations

<p>Understanding how people in your team or organisation are motivated is important and the traditional mechanisms for motivating people don&rsquo;t well as we think they do. My rough rule of thumb is that if you can effectively motivate people then not only are they upwards of 3 times more effective in their jobs but they are able to tackle the hard problems that matter. As I&rsquo;m also tremendously lazy, I can also confirm that highly motivated people require significantly less oversight day to day. If you&rsquo;re a leader wanting headspace to think then figuring out motivation is one of the big levers to pull on.</p> <p>There are two types of motivation &mdash; intrinsic and extrinsic. Between them, there&rsquo;s a spectrum of human motivation from extrinsic where motivation comes from the outside to intrinsic where the motivation comes from within. This might take the form of a reward whether it&rsquo;s in the present or the future to meet our needs.</p> <p>Salary or bonus is a form of extrinsic motivation. Or it might be based upon fear of a set of consequences &mdash; for example, losing your job or being shouted at. As an organisation building something; you need to make a conscious choice as to what kind of organisation you want to be and it depends on what you&rsquo;re building.</p> <p><a href="https://betterprogramming.pub/motivation-for-engineering-organisations-dd96e2fda22a"><strong>Click Here</strong></a></p>
