Motivation in the workplace

S o we hold certain events, leading consultants are invited to visit beautiful cities to participate in conferences. T he program of activities isfilled with different concerts of celebrities, interesting excursions, and meetings with top managers and Directors, with subsequent awards for their successes. F or example, in 2012, the event in Stockholm gathered more than 10 thousand consultants from different parts of the world [Linz S. J, 2012: 150]. I

n both mentioned examples we can see the application of Jung’s theory of personal styles, though modified and as close as to modern environment. The Director Dealership company IQDEMY (Dubai, UAE) gives two examples of personnel motivation in the working place [Schultz D., 2010: 71], which are based on McCleeland’s theory of human needs. U nfortunately this approach is quite unusual in Russia. Examples motivation: the prize in advanceThe salary of the sales manager includes his regular salary and a percentage of sales. I n order not to calculate salary each time, the company pays each month fixed salary and allowances.

N obody wants to return the money already spent, so the manager gives the maximum efficiency. Examples of motivating employees: overtime shall be necessarilypaid This method is usually applied to those workers who have 1−2 hours to stay in the work. U sually management receives money for overtime work post factum, but this scheme complicates the payroll and can be frustrating for the employee, especially if insufficiently paid. T herefore, the agreement with an employee in the UAE indicates the item is 15−20% overhead is already included in the salary, but the company may require overtime on any day. I

f the need for overtime work does not arise, he will still receive a supplement [DeckersL., 2010: 2−3]. S o find out what motivates your employees and give them what they need. G iving them a sense of purpose for doing what they do will go a long way. I f you are the employee, figure out what it is you want in life and focus on that.

E very time you increase your productivity, you are getting closer to your goals. List of References: DeckersL. Motivation; Biological, Psychological and Environmental. 3rded. — B oston, MA: Pearson, 2010. Linz S.J. Motivating Russian Workers: Analysis of Age and Gender Differences. W
