Would you like to better understand what, exactly, motivates people?
Do you feel like your job could be more fulfilling but you’re not sure what’s missing?
Most of us have answered yes to at least one of these questions during our professional lives. This article explores these questions by identifying the basic human needs that govern us and how they relate to project management. By appreciating and learning about the different factors that drive us, not only will you be able to maximize the performance of your team, you’ll also be able to increase your own level of motivation.
According to Human Needs Psychology, there are six fundamental needs that govern us:
- Certainty
- Variety
- Significance
- Connection
- Growth
- Contribution
Everybody has these needs, but the priority varies from person to person – and the most dominant ones will be the main drivers for an individual’s achievement.
The following assessment will help you to understand your own driving forces. Give the most correct answer for each.
