What motivates me to work is being in a company that will allow me to work in a field I enjoy and in a company that will allow me to grow and expand my knowledge. These are usually correlated with a good work environment where my fellow employees are very helpful, sociable, and understanding to the work I interested in and how it can be beneficial to the company. Other important factors besides good work environment are pay and location. A lot of people are open to moving far away for a position, but I do not want to move across country for an allotted period of time that I do not know how long will last. Unless it is short term such as under a year, I would prefer being close to home. Pay is important as well as hard work should be repaid as such, and more pay would be a bigger motivator for me to work harder seeing as ceiling for pay if higher.
