I have seen too many books, courses, seminars for employers on how to motivate their employees. I think I do a great job for my employer only because I have a great attitude towards my job.
Does anyone believe that it is up to the employee to motivate themselves or do you believe it is the employers job to keep their employees motivated?
I'm curious? |

More motivated employees (who channel their motivation appropriately) are higher performing employees and they enhance organizational effectiveness.
Is it up to the employee or the employer to keep employees motivated?
They should both do it.
Employees who want to get ahead should manage their motivation just as they should manage their skills, and their visibility and credit for the good job they do.
Managers who care about organizational effectiveness should manage those things that affect organizational effectiveness. Motivation is one of those things.
