Abstract

Since the start of modern organizations, much has been said and written about work motivation. Managerial theories have focused on identifying the external stimuli that organizations and managers can activate to motivate individuals. A reverse approach is presented herein. Motivation for working is seen as a highly individual, dynamic force with three aspects: obligations, initiatives and aspirations. The latter are indispensable and specific to each person in the workplace; but their contents vary from person to person. They are constantly evolving as they are put to use and as the person grows older. This conceptualization underlies a new approach to managing work motivation in organizations. Each individual in the workplace is to be both the guardian and regulator of his/her obligations/initia tives/aspirations.
