Motivation Theory
by Daniel Pink
1. Autonomy
Our self-direction is a natural inclination. Autonomy  is the need to direct your own life and work. To
be fully motivated, you must be able to control what you do and when you do it.

3 tips for Self-autonomy in a workplace

 Set goals and build a plan to achieve each goal – clarify what your objectives are and focus
on them being your end result.
 Find work that interests you - doing work that is interesting and fulfilling is one of the best
ways to ensure you’re staying engaged and motivated day in and day out.
 Take a Break - a mental time out can trigger the “resting brain” effect, and that space
increases productivity.

2. Mastery
It is our urge to get better and better at something that matters, to learn and create new things.
3 tips for Mastery in a workplace

 Never stop learning – attend webinars, watch videos that can be helpful to your assigned
tasks, play educational app or sites.
 Challenge yourself to learn new things - your brain may become motivated more easily if
you're constantly challenging it.
 Push yourself outside your comfort zone - one of the best ways to increase motivation is to
push yourself to achieve new goals and opportunities.
3. Purpose
It is the yearning to do what we do in the service of something larger than ourselves, to do better by
ourselves and our world.

3 tips for Purpose in a workplace

 Solidify your sense of Self-Promotion- you were hired for a reason, and now it is your duty to
perform that role at its utmost ability. 
 Look at the bigger and better picture - think about why you are doing this and what you are
working towards.
 Remind yourself of your “WHY” - find a way to remind yourself often how you are
contributing to the greater good through your work.
Conclusion:
People may become disengaged and demotivated at work if they don't understand, or can't invest in,
the "bigger picture."But those who believe that they are working toward something larger and more
important than themselves are often the most hard-working, productive and engaged.
