Is it money that motivates us?? Not really.
A showcase of studies of how monetary rewards motivate (and don’t).3 Factors leading to better performance & personal satisfaction…
1. Autonomy-desire to be self directed (find PLAY & FUN in work)
2. Mastery-urge to get better at stuff (find challenge, a way to find mastery & contribution—because it’s FUN & ENGAGING)
3. Purpose-brings talent & makes coming to work better “when the profit motive gets unmoored from the purpose motive, bad things happen”(These three factors following paying one enough to take the issue of money off the table so they can think about work)
Our experience shows that consumers can tell you they want bigger buttons, fewer features, or a better price. But these are relatively superficial needs.

I just have to plug this book from my former professor, Vijay Kumar. He has a unique ability to put design methods (101 to be exact) into context and make them accessible for designers and non-designers alike. Buy the book! You won’t regret it.
