Intrinsic Motivation at Work
Building Energy and Commitment
Berrett-Koehler, 2000
Что внутри?
Forget “Show me the money!” These days it’s “Show me the meaning!”
Recommendation
Kenneth W. Thomas presents a model for using intrinsic motivation in the workplace to assure a more committed, self-managed workforce. He advocates leading for meaningfulness, choice, competence, and progress. He emphasizes the need to use this approach to give employees the greater independence and decision-making authority they need as bureaucratic management models break down. While many of these themes are presented in other books on leadership, motivation, training and worker empowerment, Thomas pulls them together in a well-organized, clearly written presentation that gives readers clear directions. The succinct style of writing is easy to understand, even though it is directed toward the serious reader. getAbstract recommends this book to executives, managers, trainers and management consultants, as well as to employees, who will find helpful ideas for exercising greater self-management.
