Needs are felt, and their intensity varies from one person
to another and from time to time, and so does the extent
to which they are motivating.

Behaviour is learned, earned reward encourages even better
performance, thus reinforcing desired behaviour.'

Attaining goals leads to feelings of self-respect, strength and
confidence.

Few people are able to continue a pattern of achievement and success
without the added encouragement provided by others recognising their
achievements.

Continued failure and frustration and defeat can result in feelings of
inadequacy and a withdrawal from competitive situations.

Persistent lack of rewards leads to a view of society as being hostile
and unrewarding.

The two main reasons that people work are:

• to perform rewarding and meaningful activities



• for companionship.

• fulfil most of your material needs



• meet your financial obligations



• feel as if you fit into and contribute to society



• feel a sense of well-being and accomplishment



• meet and interact with people of different backgrounds and
  cultures.

People get job satisfaction when their work:

• pays them enough to fulfil their most important needs



• pays them fairly for the work they do



• looks after them, providing a protective environment and
  ensuring their safety as they work.



• gives them a social life—they belong to a team and
  interact regularly with different people



• makes them feel good about themselves—they can see
  themselves gaining experience, expertise, status and
  acknowledgement by their colleagues and superiors



• fulfils them—it gives them a sense of personal
  achievement by presenting them with new challenges, helping them
  grow and be creative
