Mojo motivator of the month – The Searcher

There are nine recognised intrinsic motivators. This month we focus upon ‘The Searcher’.

The Searcher is motivated by the need for meaning and wants to engage in activities that are valuable for their own sake. They seek work that is important and significant, not just for money or status. They strive to make a difference in the quality of work and life, always looking for something better or a cause to champion.

If you have employees for which the above resonates, then you may wish to consider the following motivation strategies on an individual, team or organisation-wide basis.

Individual (What they can proactively do)

• Clarify purpose in life and formulate a mission based on what they want to contribute and how they want to grow
• Seek positive and quality feedback to grow and consider using social media for feedback opportunities
• Improve communication skills in all forms: verbal, written and electronic
• Identify core values and reward when consciously lived by
• Avoid meaninglessness by finding ways to vary repetitive and routine work tasks

Team (How the manager and colleagues can support)

• Provide positive feedback and communicate the results of their work
• Avoid monotonous routines and look for ways to vary work
• Obtain positive customer feedback and testimonials about the team's results
• Improve regular communication using different modes (oral, written, electronic) and incorporating visual, oral and kinaesthetic approaches
• Ensure that the team has appropriate equipment and materials for their work

Organisation (What high-level activities can support)

• Define the organisation's core purpose and values
• Collect positive customer feedback and testimonials
• Improve communication in the workplace
• Conduct employee surveys to gather feedback
• Encourage team building and develop a team-oriented culture
