Staff Motivation: On Which Buttons to Press?
Each leader dreams of finding hissubordinates a certain "button", allowing you to control the desire of employees to work to achieve the result. Even better, if there is a system of such "buttons" that will allow controlling subordinates in automatic mode. From a scientific point of view, such a system is called staff motivation. Ideally, the system should work as followsway. The specified program allows you to monitor the productivity of labor, to call employees with a natural desire to perform their duties qualitatively in order to achieve a positive result, both for themselves and for the company as a whole. In most cases motivation and stimulation of personnel is transferred to money that has long been considered a resource that makes it easy to manage every person.
The motivation of staff is so importantthe organization of the working process, at least to some extent pretending to be effective, that a lot of books have been written on this topic, several theories have been created, millions of articles have been published, but so far, to answer the question of how to organize a 100% effective management of staff motivation, Unfortunately no.
It should be noted that staff motivation Is a science that is actively studied by wholedepartments of international corporations. With the visible success that experts in this matter achieve, there are facts that can not be explained in terms of generally accepted logic. For example, successful managers give up a well-paid job and are given a calm and measured life, even if they are not filled with material values in excessive volume, but without stress and time pressure. In this example, there is a persistent tendency of an incorrectly constructed motivation system, erroneous transfer of personal motivation card data, which is inherent in every person, into the work process. That is why motivation of staff, namely the construction of a maintenance systememployees in a workable state and at the level of satisfaction with their own work and life, which allows to achieve the desired goals and results, must be carried out by competent specialists, and with reference to each specific case, that is, to each particular company and the situation in which it is located.
Of course, to hire a specialist or even a wholethe department, which will only implement the system of management and motivation of personnel, is not within the scope of each organization, although in certain cases it is advisable. In most cases, issues related to the motivation of employees are handled by managers who need to be aware of the proper construction of the system.
Unfortunately, many managers do not realizethe importance of the foregoing, and they base their own system of personnel motivation on the already motivated, motivating employees. Among such motives may be greed, fear for their own future, internal adventurism, vanity, servility, and even a factor of pain. At the same time, such "buttons" that managers try to pressure do not always produce the expected effect, at least long-term.
To the manager, who decided to study the aspects of staff motivation, it is necessary first of all to realize two facts:
1. Employees are people who are no different from their boss or other managers
2. People who are employed are subordinate to their leadership only because of the circumstances, as well as personal motives.
These two factors are fundamental for building an effective system of motivating staff - one of the most important moments of a successful work process.
