Learning Reflection

John Campell from Valley Mental Health came to talk to the class. He really wanted us to learn something that we did not know before. He talked about if money is a pay motivator or what kind of motivators you have to get excited to go to work everyday.

For some people, yes, money is a big motivator because that is what they want. They do what they do because of the money. But there are other who have intrinsic motivators to go to work the next day. Those intrinsic motivators are more powerful because your work gets exciting, and your values are more important than monetary rewards.

Working in the real world have its own risks such as pay. Some organizations do not realized that they are braking the law. It is very important to know the state laws and regulations. Also, getting reliable data about the market pricing is crucial. One can get any information anywhere such as the internet, but we need to make sure the data is reliable.

The fundamental pay principles are external competitiveness, and internal equity. The internal equity is important to have it in control if not it will hurt the company.
