Motivation

Motivation is best achieved with incentives or rewards. Specifically saying, perform a task and receive a bonus or award. So with that though of rewarding people for certain task leads to the idea of how to balance out the reward with the difficulty of the task. For example, giving a big incentives for mechanical tasks, workers showed their best performance, while as people left with mind challenging task resulted with poorer performance. Once people can find a way to balance out bonuses or incentives for certain task, the world would be more Influenced to complete the task at hand to the best of their abilities. 

To fully grasp this concept, think about how to get a child to do something as simple as cleaning his/her room. As the adult you see the child with no motivation to clean their room so you offer a reward for them completing the task, (mechanical) so you offer them play time outside if they finish, and before you know they completed the simple task that you asked and their outside playing. Now on the other hand, you ask the child to do their multiplication tables. (tough for children at times; mind challenging task) Again you offer the same reward of playing outside after they finish. (If it wasn’t clarified, playing outside is the Big incentive) Only to find this time around, you find the child rushing or “poor” performance in completing the task. When the challenge is to tough or rigorous, not even the incentives will improve the performance. This example also applies to adults in the workforce.
