Why do people work hard? What keeps them engaged and productive? That’s what Motivation Theory is all about.
There are several big names in motivation research, including:
✔️ Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs – People need basic security (paycheck) before they care about self-actualization (career growth).
✔️ Herzberg’s Two-Factor Theory – Things like salary & work conditions prevent dissatisfaction, but real motivation comes from recognition & personal growth.
What It Means for You:
If you’re managing a project, understanding what drives your team can help you:
- Keep morale high (Hint: It’s not always about money!)
- Reduce burnout (Give people challenges that excite them).
- Build a team that actually enjoys working together!
