Motivação e dinheiro

"The science behind work satisfaction.
Consider a study by Behavioral Economist Dan Ariely (and Lemonade’s Chief Behavioral Officer), where he sent factory workers one of three emails: The first promised workers a free pizza if they get all of their work done, the second promised a rare compliment from their boss, and the last – a cash bonus.
.
Which did the best job of motivating employees to get their work done?
.
If you thought the cash bonus, you thought wrong. The pizza and thank you note were the strongest motivators.
.
While monetary incentives are usually attributed to getting workers’ feet in the door in the first place, cash hardly contributes to an employee’s engagement at work:
...
Creating a positive, caring workforce makes for more engaged team members, meaningful workplace relationships, and higher profits for organizations.
.
Companies should set aside cash bonuses, and invest in practices that make employees feel cared for. And a pizza party every once in a while wouldn’t hurt either."

Não é nada incomum a liderança das empresas, à medida que elas crescem, estar cega quanto à falta de motivação dos trabalhadores.
