چکیده
The purpose of this paper is to deepen the discussion about what motivates employees. This paper briefly describes the seven stages of psychological development and the corresponding levels of motivation. These are linked to Harvard Professor Robert Kegan’s work on the three types of mind (socialized mind, self‐authoring mind, and self‐transforming mind). Each of the three types of mind has different drives and motivations, and is linked to different levels of job complexity. Understanding the motivations of the different types of mind is essential to creating a high‐performance organisation with high levels of employee engagement.
