  1. In my opinion, money CAN be a motivator for many people, but in the short-term rather than the long-term. Eventually, priorities such as happiness, health and love become more important - we read about unhappy rich people all the time!

  2. Volcano: I think money is the basic meterial security. Without good salary, the employee cannot have enough motion to work hard. But in the long term, many conditions such as career prospects, work place and other elements could impact one person's mind.

  4. i think money can be a motivator forever. althougg,sometimes people earn engouth to keep their life with good quality. they start to think about other things to make lives better. but the things they want are at the high level which is based on money. if one person, who get the money for his/her life for a period of time,want other thing to change his/her life. in a short time, it is OK.but after a while, he/she will have to change his/her mind back to money to support his/her life again. so i think, money can be the motivator no matter short term or long term. Nobody can survive without money.

  5. In my opinion,money can not become a long term motivator for workers,as there are many things will not be exchanged by money,such as health,love,other's care.Although money could give us basic physicological needs,self-actualization ,esteem needs are not shown.So rising salary could motivate workers,but it is not long term strategies.

  6. I think money is a motivator for all the people when they have a job. No matter long-term or short-term. Because money is the most important thing that make people work hard and do their best.In every company the higher position you have the more money you can get. In other way this is mean you want get more money ,you must work hard to get a higher position. So money is a motivation to people when they have job and no matter long or short-term.

  7. In my opinion, money is important but not the necessary point. Sometime we need do some job without money. For example, some one give you a lot of money to let you do some crime. What would you do? For me, I will say no.

  8. Before becoming very rich, people long to get more money. But once people get a lot of money and have satisfied life, they will becoming paying more attentions on healthy or other physiological needs. So in my opinion, money will not be a long term motivator for workers.

  9. In my opinion, money cannot do everything but no money can do nothing. So long-term rather than short-term. Most of people due to make money to work and money is the best payback to employee. If you do not have money, then you cannot live in this world.

  10. I think money will be a permanent motivation for all the employees. Because the need for our life is changing increasely and as well the money is more important than before. Especially, the cost of higher education of going broad, luxury, house, and cars are more expensive. So, although someone considers that health and happiness are important, we must earn money all the time. Therefore, we need money motivation for our daily unchanging and boring job. That is all. Thank you.

  11. MONEY is a terrible thing. When people is poor, they want MONEY; when people is rich, they want to keep money. So I feel everybody scare no MONEY, and worry too much money. (JUST SOME FEELINGS OF ME)
    I think money is short-term motivator for people in 21st century. Beacuse people want to have a job not only need the bigger salary but also need something else, like pomotion opportunities, work environment, company reputation and office conditions. For example, some Chinese companies give some perks instesd of bigger remuneration. Such as travel opptunities or two week holidays.

  12. In my opinion, money is necessary to motive employees. Most of employees are working to get money. Also, a lot of people avoid working in government job because the salary is not enough.

  13. Generally money is a basic reason for motivating people to work. But it can’t last for a long time as a motivator. Accoring to Maslow’s theory, it belongs to the two lower level of needs. After money be a short-term motivator for workers, they may chase the higher level of success and not satistied with it any further.

    In my opinion, there are a lot of people seek money from their jobs, but when they get satisfaction, they will discover that money is not everything need to be obtained. They will start seeking other things such as: respect, love and luxurious things. So I think money is a motivator in short term, but it does not work to affect people in long term.
