ABSTRACT

Money is the only thing that matters! While compensation is a motivator that can generate specific behavior within an organization, research shows that in today's economy money is only a driver for engagement when it will provide a lifestyle change. Many Millennials willingly trade owning cars for taking Uber and Lyft, sleep in Airbnbs instead of staying at hotels, and postpone marriage and kids for travel and increased discretionary funds. Intrinsic motivators and intangible benefits are what truly inspire Millennials to perform. The overarching drivers provide a foundation for critical ingredients that go into bringing out the best in Millennials and creating a workforce that is dedicated to organizational success over personal achievement. One considerable motivator for Millennials revolves around time. More than any other generation, Millennials have an insatiable desire to cram as much into their social lives as humanly possible.
