To be truly engaging, work should provide experiences that produce a “flow” state and tasks that are in the “Goldilocks zone”. Autonomy in task, time, technique and team drives improved performance, satisfaction and creativity. Type I (intrinsic) behaviour embraces these factors, while Type X behaviour focuses on extrinsic factors. Human beings perform and feel better when motivated by intrinsic factors, most importantly, autonomy, mastery and purpose. Indeed, when structured in the wrong way, rewards can even undermine motivation, stunt performance and stifle creativity. A sole focus on reward and punishment as motivator isn’t fit for the 21 st century. The quicker we and businesses recognise it the better. Instead, as economic development and socio-technological change have swept the world, humans are now strongly motivated by our third drive: our need for autonomy, mastery and purpose. What is the key to motivating ourselves and others in the 21 st century? The answer, Daniel Pink suggests, is a far cry from the traditional view of carrots and sticks. ![]() |
