The reason we turn up for work every day has less to do with money than it does job satisfaction Daniel Pink argues in the new book Drive: The Surprising Truth About What Motivates Us.
According to a recent Inc.com review Pink claims the GFC highlights the folly of motivating employees with buckets of cash; a better approach, he suggests, is to help workers find joy in the workplace.
The author of the successful biz-lit books A Whole New Mind and Free Agent Nation, Pink's latest tome looks at commonalities between successful businesses that understand how to inspire employees.
According to Pink motivating workers boils down to three requirements: employees must have autonomy, they must want to master key work skills and they must see how their contribution helps to achieve larger organisational goals.

Good word here. Work satisfaction has a lot to do with loving the job in the first place and setting goals to improve and reinvent what you do.
