Questions:
 

1. Is money a motivator? Reflect on the rationale and its short-term and long-term impact.
 

2. Can high salary / compensation always relate to motivation?
 

3. What can you do to engage employees toward sustainable long-term performance?
 

4. Are compensation policies and even managers mostly focused on “compliance” instead of engagement in the modern workplace? What can be done to engage and self-direct others?
 

5. What is the role of “autonomy, mastery and purpose” in effectively motivating employees?
 

6. What is the role of “If-Then” short-term rewards (incentives) on being focused on the specific job? What are the pros and cons of such rewards for the long-term?
 

7. Is management an old “technology” from nearly 200 years ago? If you agree with Dan Pink that it is, then how can HR professionals better link and use this “management” technology for this century’s strategic compensation practices?
