It seems you already know, work motivation can make our day be good or bad.
You can be a lazy person all day without wanting to do something in the office if you are not working. You can also be a very passionate person and try to finish all your work when you are very motivated at work. That is why work motivation is very important, because when your motivation is reached, you will be able to give one hundred and ten percent or even two hundred percent to your work.

Work motivation is broadly divided into 2, some come from outside yourself and some come from within you.
Motivation from outside is all things that can motivate but come not from yourself, but from the environment or others. Outside motivation includes the salary you receive from the office, your work environment and the attitude of your boss.
- Payments that match performance
Undeniably, payment is one of the strongest external motivations. Many people work hard to get high income to meet their needs.
Working in a company that pays attention to the welfare of its employees and who provides good income, will definitely provide a great motivation compared to working in a company that does not apply. We will feel happy when we get appreciation for our efforts and hard work.
One of the awards that most motivates employees is an increase in income or additional income that is consistent with the performance we provide to the company.
In addition to increasing income, timeliness in providing payments or income is one of the important factors that motivate people to work well. When you know that you are paid on time every month sometimes even earlier, you will become more motivated at work. Therefore, before you enter a company, make sure you negotiate well and see if the company is paying attention to its employees with good payments or vice versa.
- Conducive work environment
In addition to payment, the work environment will also affect work motivation. A conducive work environment can motivate you to work.
You will be motivated if your coworkers continue to support you in working and helping each other to develop,It would be nice if your coworkers were not limited to co-workers in the office but also good friends outside the office. By having a conducive work environment, you can work better. You can also be comfortable working with your co-workers in completing a common goal of a team or company.
- A boss who is an example and builds his employees
Motivation from outside the self that is no less important is having the right boss. A boss who is not a 'boss', but a good leader. A good leader is a leader who can set a good example and example when in the office.
When a boss comes early and goes home late, of course we will be more motivated at work.

A good boss is not a boss who is only angry when your work is not finished, but also helps find a solution to your difficulties.
When you have a boss who always helps you to grow and succeed in getting a better career, of course you will be eager to work, because you know that your boss cares deeply about you. Bosses can be one of the important factors you work for. When your hard work is appreciated by your boss, of course you will be motivated to work better.
In addition to the outside motivation that you have read, inner motivation will also affect you in your work.
Motivation in yourself is all that can encourage you to work better and harder that comes from yourself, not from the outside.
- Your goal is to work
This is the strongest inner self motivation, it can even exceed all the motivations that exist. That is if you know what your goals are working for.
If you know that your goal of working is to gain experience, then no matter how hard your work environment is, you will remain motivated to work.
Even if you have a boss that is not in line with your expectations, you will still work because you know your goals, that you want to gain experience before you find a new workplace with new goals.
So make sure you have a goal when you come to a company so that you can be motivated from within, not only affected by motivation from outside yourself.
- Want to try new things and like challenges
Another form of motivation in yourself is when you feel challenged to develop in your work.
You feel that you have to change, try new things, and succeed in overcoming the difficulties you experience with your own abilities.
People who like challenges will be motivated when they experience tests and challenges in the office.
If you are the type of person like this, you must continue to look for new challenges and ask to be challenged in your work, so that you will continue to be motivated and develop.
By having good work motivation, you will also provide good performance. Your performance at work will increase. And it is not impossible that you will become an exemplary employee with above average performance.
Work motivation is the key so you can work optimally.
