Imagine you are a hiring manager at a local hospital. It is your job to ensure salaries for new hires are fair and competitive. What’s in it for me has become a common theme. However, is it really so bad? Would many of us work if we were not paid? If we won the lottery, would we still work?
It is not all about money though. There are two classifications with intrinsic and extrinsic rewards of your job.
Intrinsic rewards comes from being satisfied from the job itself. Taking pride in our work. Being part of a team. The feeling of accomplishment.
Extrinsic rewards is the salary we earn. Being promoted. The benefits we receive such as health insurance.
It is important as a manager to realize and understand the intrinsic and extrinsic rewards as they are both motivators to employees. To keep employees motivated and excited about their job, we need to recognize and provide opportunities for both intrinsic and extrinsic rewards.
