The motivation of men has been much theorized, particularly in the past half-century. It's actually about these great thinkers to theorize on what might motivate us, for example in a professional situation. Following a survey of employees, Ronen, unlike others, tried to make an almost complete list of everything that could be a motivating factor for the employee. These various elements differ according to each individual, coming together on 2 points of motivator and individual element.Thus, even if motivation can be theorized and put into a blueprint, its application remains highly personalized, according to individuals and values that the employer wants to share in his company. Here the motivation comes with personal interests. For Murray, motivation mainly comes from practical needs rather than an affinity. He has defined 4 primary needs: success, affiliation, autonomy and power.

[...] Indeed, Herzberg maintained that motivation has become more of a “content” of work; all that it could bring to the individual was not necessarily practical. Herzberg had demonstrated that work was not an exchange of goods (hence financial) between the employer and the employee, but also a way to satisfy the needs which makes us different from other living beings.
