Sample
I don’t agree with his opinion. I have had many different jobs in my life and
the most important factor has always been money. For money, people get up
earlier, work out harder, and are able to do the impossible. You need money
if you want to take care of your family. When I am looking for a job, I always
think about the salary first. I have had many different jobs where the pay has
been good and the work has been repetitive and monotonous. This is not a
problem for me. I am good at learning anything. I just need the right
incentive. In my case, this incentive is money.
My script
According to the statement by Dan Pink's and his research on work motivation, he
talks about different scientific studies and research that are associated with the
challenges of redemption and compensation.
At the London Institute of Technology, different studies were carried out that have
demonstrated the importance of remuneration in the performance of workers. During
this study it was possible to identify that rewarding the worker with the best
performance can be beneficial for his performance in this type of activity, since human
beings react to economic stimuli.
The studies carried out by a group of economists were very strange, because if they did
not pay people enough, people were not motivated to work. It was said during this
study, that money was the main motivator of the human being.
My personal opinion on this theory, is that money at work does not mean everything
since there are more important things, for example, mental health, well-being and
quality of life that you have in the workplace. Money is important, but the main
motivation of a person must be exploited with a good working environment.
