In The Guardian, William Leith identifies Drive as vying for attention in "the Gladwell market", but finds it nonetheless "inspiring" for its message that thinking of work as art inspires more than the "carrot-and-stick." References Stefan Stern, writing for the Los Angeles Times calls the book, "short, punchy, energetic and not subtle", praising the writing, but arguing that Pink overstates his case. Businesses that only focus on profits without valuing purpose will end up with poor customer service and unhappy employees. Purpose – The desire to do something that has meaning and is important.
Mastery – The urge to get better skilled.Autonomy – A desire to be self directed, it increases engagement over compliance.To motivate employees who work beyond basic tasks, Pink believes that supporting employees in the following areas will result in increased performance and satisfaction: Pink suggests, "You should pay enough to take the issue of money off the table". If you do not pay employees adequately they will not be motivated. Supervisors should pay employees enough so they are not struggling to meet their basic needs and to ensure they feel that they are being paid fairly. If the task involved cognitive skills, decision-making, creativity, or higher-order thinking, higher pay resulted in lower performance. They found that this was true when it comes to problems with a defined set of steps and a single answer. Summary īased on studies done at MIT and other universities, higher pay and bonuses result in better performance within the workplace only if tasks consist of basic mechanical skills. He argues against old models of motivation driven by rewards and fear of punishment, dominated by extrinsic factors such as money. It argues that human motivation is largely intrinsic and that the aspects of this motivation can be divided into autonomy, mastery, and purpose. The book was published in 2009 by Riverhead Hardcover. Drive: The Surprising Truth About What Motivates Us is a non-fiction book written by Daniel Pink.
