Synopsis: Amabile (business administration, Harvard Business School) and Kramer, contributor to the Harvard Business Review, present this guide to better people management through positive work experiences and meaningfulness. The authors claim that employee motivation is driven by an individual's perception of their work being meaningful. Drawing from analysis of thousands of diary entries from a wide range of employees in a broad group of organizations, the authors explain the most effective methods for fostering a sense of meaning and ultimately maximizing employees' long term productivity. The book is intended for managers looking for a new motivation strategy for their employees.
