In this episode of Rethinking Performance Reviews, I explore the nuances of motivation in the workplace, diving deep into the contrast between intrinsic and extrinsic motivators. We unravel how external rewards like paychecks and promotions can offer short-term boosts but often fall short in sustaining long-term engagement, particularly for complex tasks requiring creativity. By examining concepts like self-determination theory, we discuss how fulfilling core psychological needs—autonomy, competence, and relatedness—can unlock lasting motivation. Join me as I share insights on tailoring recognition and support to align with individual drivers, ultimately fostering a more engaged and productive workforce. Tune in for a fresh perspective on igniting the internal spark that leads to authentic performance and satisfaction.
