Furthermore, Dickson explains that employees are not only motivated by money and motivation can be different from one individual to another. It is surprising that money is not the only factor that motivates employees, which means there are other factors that affect employee motivation.

The concept is becoming increasingly significant as research reveals that engaged workers perform better.
