    This document discusses four basic emotional needs or drives that motivate employees: acquiring physical goods and experiences, bonding with other individuals and groups, comprehending their environment, and defending themselves, their work, and beliefs. It outlines actions that employers can take to appeal to each drive, such as tying rewards clearly to performance to appeal to employees' drive to acquire, fostering collaboration to appeal to their drive to bond, designing meaningful jobs to appeal to their drive to comprehend, and ensuring fair processes to appeal to their drive to defend. A chart shows that improving how a company appeals to any one of these drives can increase employee motivation relative to other firms, while improving on all four drives can substantially increase motivation.
