Employers should know how each staff member is best motivated. The interviewer wants to know how self-aware you are about what fuels your passion for your work and productivity. Talk to the interviewer about how you find motivation on the job, whether through praise, increased responsibility, or being entrusted with a broader view of the big picture.

"I am best motivated through words of praise and recognition for a job well done. I like to know that my efforts are noticed. In my current position, we have a leaderboard, and I like that concept because it creates a healthy competition."

I am a self-motivated individual, but I do believe that you need the right tools to do any job. As long as I have the tools to effectively do my job, I will remain motivated.

Great response! Self-motivation is so critical to workplace success and is often lacking. Your self-motivation is evident across many of your responses, and this is an extremely important trait to have.
