Description

The Motivation to Work by Bernard Mausner and Barbara Bloch Snyderman challenges traditional views on job satisfaction. When first published, this book argued that worker fulfillment comes from achievement and growth within the job itself, rather than just improved working conditions. Research based on workers' accounts of real events has shown that factors intrinsic to work, such as achievements, recognition, and challenging work, are more important in determining job satisfaction than extrinsic factors like environment. This groundbreaking study has had a lasting impact on motivation and job design strategies. The findings of this volume have called into question many previous assumptions about job satisfaction and worker motivation, highlighting the importance of intrinsic factors in driving employee engagement and performance.
