These results don’t surprise me at all. The social environment that we surround ourselves with has a huge impact on what we do as individuals. Regardless if it is work, school or anything else where motivation is applicable. If I would categorize myself in one of those categories I would say I am motivated by being recognized/valued & respected. Also, the level of excitement and challenge the job provides. Respecting and valuing what we do as humans to a certain level helps in telling us that what we do matters and is visible. Also, the challenge bring on the spirit of experimenting and achieving something new.
