Show me the money! Money is clearly the winner in this poll. The interesting thing about money as an incentive is that it can meet multiple motivational needs. It can meet the need for the basics, the need for security and safety, the need for status, the need for power (if the increase in salary comes with an increase in status) and even the need for balance (if the extra money is used to create balance). Which need does money fulfill for you?
