What is Self-Motivation?
Self-Motivation is an intense desire for change
for the better.
It’s that desire which creates change and
brings about better results. As long as that desire remains strong
within us, our self-motivation will also remain
strong.
Motivating Yourself
Ask
yourself these questions:
1. Are you
satisfied with your job?
2. Are you
doing your best?
3. What do
you want from your job in the long
run?
4. What’s
your attitude towards your job?

Motivation
Activators
¨

¨

Three Tactics for Motivating
Others
1.
Incentives (rewards)—Rewarding employees for a
job well done is a good deed, but it has only a short term
effect.
2.
Fear (threats)—These may get some
immediate results, but may cause anxiety, rebelliousness and long term
resentment.
3.
Inner
satisfaction (the sole food
approach)—Inner satisfaction of the employee will cause eagerness and
efficiency of the employee for a long time.
Employee's Need in the Work
Place
The following needs of the
employees are rated of their importance:
¨
Work be interesting &
challenging
¨
Employee be shown
appreciation
for their efforts
¨
Employee involvement in the whole
scheme.
¨
Job security
¨
Salary and Benefits
¨
Chance for Growth

Management
that provides feedback for
performance

Management that set good
goals.
¨
Consistent overall success in a
job.
¨
Getting along with the
BOSS.
Three
Motivational Mistakes
1.
Manipulating instead of
Motivating—Taking advantage of hardworking employees
2.
Failing
to reward quiet, but consistent dependable workers—These people are
so trustworthy, that they become invisible. They start to feel
resented and ignored.
3.
Failure
to give the right rewards for work well done—Good work that
gets unnoticed, or unrewarded deprives the employee of ever wanting to
work hard again.
Tips for the
Motivating Manager
1.
Getting to know your employees as
well as you can individually will suggest to you which motivating tool is
appropriate for a certain person, at a certain time.
2. Persuade each and every employee that his/her
performance affects the bottom line.
3.
Make sure you are
approachable—Acknowledge the works of your employees and take into
consideration their suggestions. v
