8. Frederick Herzberg's 2-factor theory, which focuses on the idea
that the factors that determine job dissatisfaction ("hygiene
factors") are completely separate from those that determine
true satisfaction ("motivators"). Insufficient financial
compensation, for example, falls into the former camp. But
having sufficient compensation will not lead to passion for a job;
it just takes away the dissatisfaction.
Motivation, according to the theory, is determined not by
material incentives, but rather by interesting work,
recognition, and personal growth.

9. In a now classical experiment (see Deci, 1975), college
students were either paid or not paid to work for a

period than paid subjects, and also reported a
greater interest in the task.

10. Generation Y expects to work in
communities of mutual interest and

Consequently, people management

like the pyramid structures that we
are used to.

58. B. F. Skinner found that he could motivate a rat
to complete the boring task of negotiating a
maze by
providing the right incentive - corn at
the maze’s center.
punishing the rat with an electric shock
each time it took a wrong turn.
https://www.mckinseyquarterly.com/Organization/Change_Management/The_psychology_of_change_management_1316
59. Over time, Skinner’s rats became bored with corn and
began to ignore the electric shocks.
In our experience, a similar phenomenon often prevents
organizations from sustaining higher performance:
structures and processes that initially reinforce or
condition the new behavior do not guarantee that
it will endure.
