A time that compensation motivated behavior was at my first job working in a dental office. One of my coworkers that\u2019s worked there for many years always did her best at following the rules, helped train new workers and would stay late at the office in order to get all her work done. Despite all her efforts, she was never getting a raise, and her pay did not reflect on how much work she was doing after some time another dental office offered her a better deal with higher pay and more benefits. She decided to leave her old job and accept the offer at the new clinic. I think the compensation was motivated for her because it made her feel more valued for all the work that she does at work. Money is very important, especially for bills, food, and just living in general. If employees aren\u2019t being paid enough, they begin to feel unvalued and search for other places that are offering them a better deal in this situation. My coworker was offered a better deal from a different office, and this made her feel valued for all the experience and skills that she has. The office also gave her flexible hours and better benefits, which helped her feel less stressed and gave her more time to spend with her family due to all these factors. The new dental office offer seemed much better than staying at her old office that was working her too hard and not paying her enough. This shows how compensation can affect individuals behavior. Employees are more likely to stay at a job that appreciates them and rewards them in a fair way. Having a proper pay with good benefits is very motivating for employees to stay at the company and work hard.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
