Motivation Factors	Ways to Improve Motivation
Growth Increase skills and competencies	Empower others to make decisions and contribute by increasing accountability for their work while removing controls. Assign people specialised tasks that allow them to become experts. Enable people to take on new, more difficult tasks they haven’t handled before, and support them.
Recognition Praise, feedback, awards	Share credit for success in public and for failures in private. Make personal contact, treat with respectt. By humble, be thankful. Put recognising other’s work on your weekly ‘to do’ list.
Achievement Solving problems, seeing results	Set a good example, expect good performance. Set goals and priorities for yourself so others can build their goals towards these.
Participation Involvement in decisions and planning	Communicate the “why” as well as the “what. Make information available directly to others. Ask for input and advice, and use it. Share responsibility. Give people responsibility for a complete process or unit of work. Let others know your plans early on.
Enjoyment Supportive, friendly environment	Infuse a bit of humour to break the tension of the work. Find ways to make the individuals feel they belong to the team. Make personal contact often.
