#FridayVideo: Challenging Jobs as an Employee Motivator
I am starting a new series of short videos on Fridays (and hopefully will keep posting).
We would all love to have work that keeps up engaged and motivated. There are several dimensions to what drives engagement and the “job role” itself contributes very heavily to motivation levels. Put another way, if you are underpaid to do a lot of challenging work, you might still be pretty engaged (all startups pretty much work in this state) but if you are a smart person paid a ton of money to do nothing – chances are you will want to quit (fast!).
Here is the first in the Friday Videos series with some tips how managers can create Challenging roles to keep Employees motivated.
Officially I am founder-director at 'kwench. Unofficially I am a dabbler-at-large doing a little-bit-of-this and a little-bit-of-that and spend a lot of time on things that pique my curiosity.
I am fascinated by all things involving building innovative and sustainable brands, data-analytics, and data-visualization. I like to ponder, space-out, take long walks and write (not necessarily in that order), often resulting in blog posts, long emails, web content, and the off hand book.
Current interest areas revolve around the juxtaposition of psychology and analytics, specifically studies on inter-group dynamics and mining human behavior.
