Every employer should know how each staff member is best motivated. Talk to the interviewers about the variety of ways you are best motivated on the job. The interviewers want to see what motivates you and if you will be a good fit with the company culture if hired.

There is no right or wrong answer here. This is your personal observation of what drives you to do a good job and show up to work every day. You might be motivated by praise from your superiors, being recognized for a job well done, or being offered promotions or extra job duties based on your performance. Or, you may be the type of person who does not require motivation as you enjoy what you do and are motivated to go to work each day. Describe what best motivates you.
