My favorite concept on this topic is CAR (Competence, Autonomy, Relatedness) from Self-determination theory [0]
Giving people these at their job provides great satisfaction and better performance:
- Competence: using your abilities at a task, experiencing mastery
- Autonomy: having the ability to make decisions about the task
- Relatedness: understanding how the task relates to something bigger that helps others

- lioeters 6y agoThe book Drive: The Surprising Truth About What Motivates Us (2003), based on studies done at MIT and other universities, argues that human motivation is largely intrinsic - meaning, beyond external rewards - and is characterized by: - Autonomy — Our desire to be self directed. - Mastery — The urge to get better skills. - Purpose — The desire to do something that has meaning and is important. They seem to map one-for-one with your list above.
