K.K.PAREKH INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT STUDIES- AMRELI discusses motivating knowledge workers. Knowledge workers are defined as those who know more about their work than anyone else. There are three main motivators for knowledge workers: personal growth, task achievement, and occupational autonomy. Organizations can reward knowledge workers through approaches like paying based on competency, offering total reward policies with pay flexibility, and using competency in job evaluations.
