“Non-monetary” employee motivation.

Recently, I noticed that some of the chiefs (especially high) in their attempts to increase the efficiency of their employees are trying to invent or implement some tricky and complex "personnel motivation systems." They write smart rules and regulations, left and right sypyat intelligent terms such as KPI. But with all this in some strange way, it’s very hard for them to get one simple, like two or two, the idea that if a person considers his salary “not big enough” to put on labor exploits, then no non-monetary motivation will not work. The reason for this is simple: in such a situation, all the possibilities of non-monetary motivation are already used only to ensure that a person works for you for “small” money. When employees have a salary level of at least 10% below the so-called market level, it is useless to raise the team spirit, push speeches about development prospects, set tight deadlines, call for activity ... And you just need simple human words and not the book language of the textbook management, tell employees what specific actions / tasks / projects they can receive a bonus or salary increase. Moreover, the easier it will be formulated, the greater the effect will be obtained.

It is strange that for the development of various theories of motivation, some bosses have both time and desire, and they have enough minds, but it’s impossible to understand the obvious.
