This article talked about how most people go to work just for the money. Money is an internal motivation for most to work but when we see other people working hard, then we strive to do the same. Money forces people to work and most people dont like being forced.
For example, in the article, it talked about how group of kids were giving pens to play with and most of them enjoyed it but when some of them were getting paid to play with them, they lost their interest. This is because that play turned into a form of work that they had to do. No one is really excited about going to work and that's why people need to be paid to do the work.
Money finds a way to control the workers. Some findings do show that some employees do like their job. Testing shows that when people win lottery, some have intentions right away that quitting their job is the first thing but some others choose to keep their jobs. The same thing goes with retirement. Some people like to enjoy their hobbies and never think about working again and others just to want to get out of the house so they decide to stay on the job. Being good at something also motivates the person into working. If you're good at the job then feeling of superior or knowing everything makes a person feel better.
Do you think money is the only reason people go to work?
