In a country like India - where 70% people live BPL (below poverty line) plus education/ media generated knowledge is such - that MONEY Hai Toh Honey Hai syndrome works well with us. True blue working people like Bill gates and team, Larry Page and team - have a passion to achieve something - they work for it and achieve it too.Money follows success (as shown correctly in film 3 IDIOTS). And people who consider 'money' n only money as the motivating factor...well they are the 'unhappy, eternally dissatisfied' people....productivity slows down with such people in any group/ company...so beware!

Not sure how money could be a demotivator? I mean I cannot imagine anyone saying that oh I am being paid more so i will not work. As a motivator its uses are again limited. A motivated employee need direction, resources and realistic targets. Money is a by product of what we do. Posted 4 months ago    Report abuse

It is a hard question to answer and it depends on what level you are within a company. I have been at all levels from hourly worker to department manager. I can tell you from experience that money does indeed motivate those at lower levels to perform better, but the motivation doesn't usually last for the long term. This is especially true of those who like to complain about everything. The complainers will never be fully happy. I agree with Demetrios also that if you treat people well and respect them they will perform better. The pay must be enough to live on or no matter what you do you will never have a totally happy motivated crew. As I have earned higher positions, money is just as important, but recognition and respect go a long way. Recognition and respect, however, do not pay the bills. Just my 2 cents.

It is a motivator because money is the most important possession any human being can have. Money is the tree from which one can pluck all the comforts and necessities of life. Money is also the most important factor that affects an individual's ability to achieve his/her goals in today's world. Posted 4 months ago    Report abuse

As per my thought, its not a 100% motivator. I think the people like dhirubhai ambani, rajnikant,billgates,warenbuffet who start his life with scratch. those are top motivator for those people who really want to grow in life and bacame a personality...Thanks Posted 4 months ago    Report abuse

Not necessarily. While we all go to work to earn a salary, my experience is that people perform well when they know that their contributions add something substantial to the operation. I've always tried to exploit people's strengths, and work on improving their weakness (if possible). It could boil down to something as simple as coordinating a daily production activity, or generating a report, or even recording cycle times. When they start to excel in these areas, they can be rewarded with an appropriate salary increase and will likely be motivated to learn more and perform higher level activities.
