MOTIVATION

Project team members all have different professional qualifications and different motivations [28].

In autonomous project organisations, you can use all kinds of motivational incentives. In the matrix and line organisations, your options are limited. For example, in a matrix organisation, the project manager can't use negative motivation (e.g. threats) and a project manager in a line organisation is often not able to provide positive motivation (e.g. rewards).

Use the motivation matrix whenever possible and remember the two basic types of motivation ("towards" and "away from").

The Motivation Matrix for analysing motivations.
