In one of my earlier posts I presented the form Daniel'a Pink'a with his idea of \u200b\u200bmotivating employees. Innovative look the motivation from the point of view of science has a significant impact on what should now be motivation.
In organizations that emphasize innovation and creative thinking, in the form of monetary stimulus will be partially replaced by values \u200b\u200bsuch as autonomy of Purpose and Distinction.
In this post I wanted to give some examples that the above values \u200b\u200breally are important in motivating individuals to work effectively.
Wikipedia Vs. Encarta
story presents a David and Goliath struggle, the struggle between the many volunteers working for free, a corporation that is Microsoft.
Encarta project was created in the 90's. Microsoft has hired experts to build the online encyclopedia. Their task was to design and write passwords, which were to be made using the encyclopedia. To complete the project implements the most advanced project management practices to ensure the implementation of the project with due diligence and complete it on time.
can say that Encarta performed her project in accordance with generally prevailing rules, rewarding employees cash, for certain results. After the project, Microsoft released its encyclopedia on CD-ROM.
In contrast to the above described project has been Wikipedia Founded in 2001, using the countless number of volunteers willing to build the online encyclopedia. Instead of selling encyclopedias, Wikipedia has decided to make it available for free via the global Internet. People describe individual passwords were not and are not rewarded financially, their only reward is to take part in a project of great social sense and a tribute to the people with the greatest contribution to his own.
When Wikipedia started to run, no one prophesied the glorious future. However, finding that instead of doing this project in the traditional way would be better to do it through play was an instant hit.
Wikipedia has created a system of remuneration consisting of:
Stand Alone: \u200b\u200bthousands of users working according to his principles and intentions, just for fun
Objective: Being a part of the project, social movement aimed at sharing knowledge
Mention: When you add its own version of passwords can be achieved social recognition
Encarta was an ordinary job, but a Wikipedia landmark event in the history of mankind.
In Encartcie 62.00 passwords was published in six different languages. Wikipedia and achieved unprecedented the success of which has not dreamed of even the authors of the project. Wikipedia page is one of the most visited sites in the world, 78 million visits per month. In the resource is 17 million entries and is available in 270 languages. Microsoft in 2009 found Wikipedia's victory over his own project and completed the project Encarta.
"FedEx" in the Atlassian
Another example may be the IT company Atlassian. Atlassian organizes 24-hour event called "FedEx." During the "FedEx" Atlassian employees get 24 hours to work on any project which you think up, but their task is to invent / create something at that time. This seems to be the idea of \u200b\u200bintroducing chaos and a great way to waste time, however, this event is one of the greatest success.
What's the success of this event? Winner in the "FedEx" is crowned with wide publicity and great glory is within the company. In this way, the winners get something much more important than simply financial reward.
Like Wikipedia, a remuneration system for "FedEx" has been based on providing:
Stand Alone: \u200b\u200bThe employees can work on what they want.
Objective: The ability to shine, to achieve recognition in the eyes of fellow
Award: Possibility of introducing their ideas into effect and favor the organization
Google and 20% of the time for creative work
Google One of the most famous IT companies in the world. The company concluded that every worker can spend 20% of their time working on projects, which are interested. Therefore, Google employees, use the equivalent of one day working week, creative work, on projects that interest them, in an environment that seems to them best. With this solution, resulting among other projects such as Gmail and Google News.
These examples illustrate the strength of which lies in ensuring that the worker's autonomy, the opportunity to achieve their own objectives, and highlighted the background of others. In my opinion, presents ways to motivate employees to develop creative thinking can be worth a try and implementation in organizations by picking innovation or operating in a socially legitimate purpose.
