Introduction
介绍
Rewards are more effective than punishments in altering individual behavior (Motivating Employees). This holds true for majority of the situations in which appreciating the hard work employees put in, and the rewards they receive in return keep them motivated and happy. A satisfied employee is one who is always able to give optimal performance. It is very important to understand how employees get motivated. For some people intrinsic motivation matters more than extrinsic motivation. Some are money minded, whereas, others are more focused on the perks and acknowledgement they receive.
译文：在改变个人行为（激励员工）方面，奖励比惩罚更有效。这适用于大多数情况，在这种情况下，感谢员工的辛勤工作以及他们获得的回报使他们保持积极性和快乐。一个满意的员工是一个总是能够提供最佳绩效的员工。了解员工如何获得动力非常重要。对于某些人来说，内在动机比外在动机更重要。有些人很注重金钱，而另一些人则更关注他们收到的津贴和认可。 激励和管理
Motivating Techniques
激励技巧 激励和管理
There are different motivation techniques that can be used to keep the employees satisfied and happy. Employees who are motivated and excited about their jobs carry out their responsibilities to the best of their ability. And production numbers increase as a result (Vinay Chaitanya Ganta). There are various techniques managers use to keep their employees motivated. Some of which include recreational activities, employee of the month rewards, appreciation certificates, team building activities, verbal praising, and discussing problems and solutions together.
Hackman and Oldham’s (1976) model of job enrichment proposes that jobs can be made more motivating by increasing skill variety (the number of different skills required by the job), task identity (the degree to which the job produces something meaningful), task significance, autonomy, and feedback. These are very important to ensure that the employees stay happy at the workplace. Such factors determine job satisfaction. And if not given the right way, then may lead to good talent leaving the organization.
When I become a manager, I intend to give my team challenging tasks, based on each member’s skills. Employees come to the office to work, instead of just lounging around. No doubt that there are those lazy team members, who simply come on board as a free loaders, however, with the right incentive they can be motivated to actively participate as well.
译文：有不同的激励技巧可以用来让员工满意和快乐。对自己的工作充满动力和兴奋的员工会尽其所能地履行职责。生产数量因此增加（Vinay Chaitanya Ganta）。管理者使用各种技巧来保持员工的积极性。其中包括娱乐活动、月度员工奖励、感谢证书、团队建设活动、口头表扬、共同讨论问题和解决方案。 激励和管理
Hackman 和 Oldham (1976) 的工作丰富模型提出，通过增加技能多样性（工作所需的不同技能的数量）、任务身份（工作产生有意义的东西的程度）、任务重要性，可以使工作更有动力、自主性和反馈。这些对于确保员工在工作场所保持快乐非常重要。这些因素决定了工作满意度。而如果没有给予正确的方法，那么可能会导致优秀的人才离开组织。
当我成为一名经理时，我打算根据每个成员的技能为我的团队分配具有挑战性的任务。员工来到办公室工作，而不仅仅是闲逛。毫无疑问，有些懒惰的团队成员只是作为免费加载者加入，但是，如果有适当的激励，他们也可以积极参与。
I think the most important thing for any employee is flexibility.
Instead of pressure of submitting work on time, with your boss breathing down your neck, it is easier to let employees work at their own pace. A good manager needs to understand the skill set of his team members. And then set them tasks with realistic timelines, while at the same time he or she needs to set challenges for them so that they can learn and grow.
In order to motivate the lazy team members, I will first build rapport with them. And then learn their likes and dislikes, this way I will be able to motivate them to do their work and submit it on time. On the other hand, for high performers, I would use the reward system to keep them motivated. For employees who show consistent performance and improvement. I will give them appreciation certificates along with praising their hard work in front of the rest of the team to motivate the others to do well as well. I will also take the team out for lunches. And plan picnic/ outings so that they can relax while having fun at the same time, so that they can enjoy themselves.
This will ensure that they remain happy with their job environment along with the level of work they are being received. On the other hand, earning their respect will be a massive challenge. As gaining trust takes times, so moving forward will not be possible without it. However, I feel that I will be able to build strong working relationships with my team, and this keep them motivated.
我认为对任何员工来说最重要的是灵活性。激励和管理
译文：让员工按自己的节奏工作，而不是按时提交工作的压力，让你的老板在你的脖子上呼吸。一个好的经理需要了解他的团队成员的技能。然后用现实的时间表为他们设置任务，同时他或她需要为他们设置挑战，以便他们学习和成长。
为了激励懒惰的团队成员，我将首先与他们建立融洽的关系。然后了解他们的好恶，这样我就可以激励他们做他们的工作并按时提交。另一方面，对于高绩效者，我会使用奖励制度来保持他们的积极性。适用于表现出持续绩效和改进的员工。我会给他们颁发感谢证书，并在团队其他成员面前表扬他们的辛勤工作，以激励其他人也做得很好。我也会带团队出去吃午饭。并计划野餐/郊游，让他们在玩乐的同时放松身心，让他们尽情享受。
这将确保他们对自己的工作环境以及所接受的工作水平感到满意。另一方面，赢得他们的尊重将是一个巨大的挑战。由于获得信任需要时间，因此没有信任就不可能前进。但是，我觉得我将能够与我的团队建立牢固的工作关系，这让他们保持积极性。
