Building Energy & Commitment
In today's organisations where managers expect workers and teams to self-manage their work intrinsic rewards - the psychological rewards workers get directly from the work itself - pay. Here, Ken Thomas shows why intrinsic rewards are essential and provides the first comprehensive treatment of intrinsic motivation. Written in an engaging style and grounded in solid academic research, this book provides a diagnostic framework for addressing problems of intrinsic motivation and essential ways to build it. He also spells out the practical implications for executives, managers, and employees themselves. 'Intrinsic Motivation at Work' is the first appearance in book form of this accessible and widely accepted model of empowerment. The approaches it provides will help business leaders with the attraction, motivation and retention of knowledge workers and the effective management of Generation X employees.
