4 DIMENSIONS OF MOTIVATION
- Task
- Power
- Reward
- Goal
Today we discussed on how management introduces various factors to
motivate and inspire the team they work with. The fundamental principle is how
to create a high performing team.
·
TRANSFORMATION OF
TASK
We discussed on various aspects
of how management transforms the work into easier and simpler tasks in order to
reduce the complexity involved and better engagement within the team.
The discussion on earlier examples of Three Monks story and the valley crossing problem was a mind enriching experience.
A detailed analysis of when was pain maximum in the three cases of the
Monk Story, we attempted t calculate the load experienced by the each monk in
different cases. It varied from maximum
load to 25% of the highest possible.
So the underlying principle is as the management puts efforts in
transforming the work or task at hand to a simple one, the performance actually
improves.
- Power
How to self-empower team members, to make them accountable for their
role, management uses different motivational techniques to impart substantial power
to employees
1. By recognizing their
work on bigger platforms,
2. By providing
environment that is conducive to their performance
- Rewards:
Rewards are the third dimension that
management uses to transform the performance of the employees.
Classified into 2
Categories namely Extrinsic & Intrinsic.

GOALS
We learnt the principles of SMART Goals in our earlier sessions. But we
need to analyse how the dimension changed from 1 monk carrying the water to 3
monks carrying the water.
The Goals of Monk changed entirel with the changing task
1. 1 monk- GOAL : I live and I die
2. 2 monks- GOAL : Moksha for everybody
3. 3 Monks- GOAL: To contribute in the shared power and
responsibility and enjoy.
The point of discussion is to elevate the simple goals to a higher
level. Companies need to understand how can they elevate the goals of their employees.
