Every employer should know how each staff member is best motivated. Talk to the interviewer about how you find motivation on the job.

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

"I am very much self-driven and self-motivated. You will get the best work from me if I am being treated with respect and feel appreciated."

You will stand out as a stronger candidate if you reply that you motivate yourself at work. If you respond that you rely on your managers to keep you motivated, the hiring manager may feel you lack the drive to succeed and do a good job.
