Intrinsic
Motivation at Work marks a major advance on the
topic of work motivation — one based on an understanding of the changing
requirements of today’s workplace and the limitations of older motivational
models. Written in an engaging, accessible style, yet grounded in solid
academic research, the book is divided into three parts. Part One assesses
older models of work motivation and why they need an overhaul. Part Two
explains the nature of the "new work" and the importance of
reintroducing a feeling of purpose and self-management. Part Three presents in
depth the four intrinsic rewards that make work energizing and compelling — a
sense of meaningfulness, a sense of choice, a sense of competence or quality,
and a sense of progress — and how to create them. (Book description from Amazon.com)
