Factoring Motivation 3.0 Into My Future Career

Improved Essays
Do I see myself factoring motivation 3.0 into my future career? I see myself using motivation 3.0 with everyday discussions. Daniel H. Pink author of Drive argues people with “Type I” behavior seem to have intrinsic motivation. “Type I behavior: Mastery- the desire to get better and better at something that matters” (p.109). That is exactly how I see myself always wanting to learn the most and get better at something to better my future. Especially as I get older and see myself growing I see “Type I” behavior every day. With my future career I will incorporate motivation 3.0 with my work the most I can and try to incorporate it in others as well. I plan on becoming a registered nurse as soon as I finish my education. In chapter six of Drive …show more content…
As of now I am employed at a convalescent hospital which is one foot in the door in my future career as a nurse. Before I could have cared less about my education but while working I developed a motivation to go to college. Seeing the nurse’s work hard every day to help someone they never met before is something that not a lot of people have. Now that I am working full time and attending school flow is the only thing keeping me sane. Pink states “…by realizing that creating a flow-friendly environments that help people move toward mastery can increase productivity and satisfaction at work” (p.115). Which works for me all the time. However, I can see where flow is abused, some people are lazy and take advantage of flow-friendly environments. Those employees are what Pink likes to call extrinsic behaviors. By giving employees work without a time frame the job may never get done or could get rushed last minute to meet the time limit. “Intrinsic motivation have higher self-esteem, better interpersonal relationships, and greater general well-being than those who are extrinsically motivated” (p.78). Pinks point is people that are intrinsically motivated are likely to be happier in the long run. Who knew until reading Drive that there is two different types of behavior towards

In healthcare, this gives rise to individuals who are dedicated and passionate about their work. Manion (2011) identified five intrinsic motivators that influence professional behaviour: “healthy relationships, meaningful purpose, competence, choice and progress” (p. 297) and in this instance, all five were present.

    Daniel Pink, author of the book, Drive, claims that the outdated motivational method of carrots and sticks is no longer applicable to most of the world. Pink assures that the old motivational method makes a person’s job dull and ultimately boring, causing a person to not place much interest in his or her work and possibly affecting them mentally. He introduces us to a revolutionary idea of how a person could have their dwindling fire reignited so that a person could better their work environment and ultimately, their life and even their health. Pink calls his new method, Motivation 3.0, which encompasses three pillars for support which are; Autonomy, Mastery and Purpose. The trio is intended to fuel anybody who has a long or short term goal and it allows a person to not only better themselves, but continue to better themselves over the course of time.…

    (Lang, par 10). On the surface, extrinsic motivation may seem like it helps students learn by giving them a goal to work towards, but in reality it is only hurting their education. Intrinsic motivation “leads to deep learning” and can help students retain information better (Lang, par 10). Students who learn because they are interested in the material and what they might get out of it are more likely to succeed than students who only learn for a good…

The researchers found that when intrinsically motivated people it was due to a maintenance and enhancement from social contexts, that is however, undermined by things like rewards, threats of punishments and controlling evaluations (Deci, Ryan, & Guay, 2013).

    Self-Determination Theory "Self-Determination theory (SDT) is an approach to human motivation and personality that uses traditional empirical methods while employing an organismic metatheory that highlights the importance of humans’ evolved inner resources for personality development and behavioral self-regulation"(Ryan & Deci, 2000, p. 68). Within this paper onee will discuss the correlation between SDT and motivation in relations to personal individual growth, and professional development. Determining Motivation "Self-determination theory suggests that there are different types of motivation, such that people vary not only in level of motivation but also in the source or quality of that motivation. At the same time, SDT postulates a continuum of autonomy to order those types of motivation" (Chemolli & Gagne, 2014, p. 575). Motivation is derived from the desire of the nature at hand; the interest of the specified subject, will determine the depth of the motivation.…
