I don’t think it has to be all or nothing; there’s room for rewarding someone for their efforts, as an expression of thanks or appreciation for a job well done.

But you’re right … reward itself is not enough.

This motivational practice indeed works. I can attest it myself. I believe people get driven if they see the results of their effort. It is always inspiring of you, yourself know what you have worked hard has paid off.

I agree. Motivation through giving of rewards is not enough. Some might get tired of it or may want more. Showing the good results he/she of their work will motivate them to exert the same, or more, effort if given another task.

Motivation is a very important thing, be it at work, at school, at home, and even with ourselves. Good point in saying that showing the results will motivate someone.

Thanks eldavo. I have been planning to add a podcast recommendations feed to my site for some time. I just finished adding it as a My Podcast Picks link on the Tech Writer Voices top nav bar as well.

If you run across any other podcast recommendation feeds, let me know.
