Enployees need three things to avoid becoming an uninspired cog:
1) Control
2) Responsibility
3) Recognition
Control and responsibility of a project but no recognition will demotivate quickly
Responsibility and recognition with no control means they’re a scapegoat for when things bad
Recognition and control with no responsibility is like a third party who will take credit but has no reason to ensure success
All three need to happen for an employee to care. If an employee is missing one or two of the three, they’ll feel it in their work

- __experiment__ 2y agothere are different people who value different things. some value more control some value more responsibility some value more recognition
- sevagh 2y agoDo you count financial reward under recognition? Lot of places are generous with non-financial recognition but stingy with the monetary recognition.
- dier 2y agoshort answer: yes it's recognition from the individual's perspective. think love languages. one person's recognition might be salary because they make $35,000/yr and another's isn't financial. they are doing this because retirement is boring. in practice it is often a combination with different ratios. as an employee it is advantageous to think about what makes you feel recognized and work with your manager on it. if it's monetary and they're stingy then your values won't align and you will be frustrated.
