Résumé

In today's organizations, where managers expect workers and teams to self-manage their work, extrinsic rewards- pay, benefits, status, bonuses, commissions, pension plans, expense budgets, and the like-are no longer enough. Ken Thomas shows why intrinsic rewards are essential, and in this breakthrough book, provides the first comprehensive treatment of intrinsic motivation-the psychological rewards workers get directly from the work itself. He offers clear advice on how companies can harness the tremendous power of intrinsic motivation to develop a more committed, self-managing workforce.
