People are not motivated by money.

[maarx]

I would say 95% are motivated by money than other stuffs.  Money is everything. There are few seen rarely to be generous in giving out / helping out money to needy. But majority goes for money even  though he or she is already well settled. Hence do not say people are not motivated with money. When you have money and have loving heart, you own the world. I felt it within.

if it is associated with economic factors now it might be said that, some percent of people are no longer motivated by money, they are more motivated by investment commodities such as stocks, gold, silver and currency to save their assets and earn profits, they are not motivated with money as possible because the exchange rate tends to decrease along with inflation

They are also considered as money in exchange of those stocks and investment. Money is placing a big role for us today, we cant move easily if we don't have such things. If course, it simply motivated us we have to more money rather than do works with nothing in returns. Money is making us alive.

I always hear the argument for capitalism "B bb BUT people won't innovate without the profit motive" WRONG

Humans want to solve problems, create, and innovate, they do not need money to motivate them.  Cavemen were painting art 20,000 years ago without the desire of money.

True scientists like Tesla, he didn't care about money it was about the pursuit of science.

Capitalism does not cause innovation, most new technology is found by government programs like nasa (internet, smartphones, etc)

It is true that people innovating on technology and make their life more easier. But people need money for research and development, thats why inventor or company need profits to expand their technology. People always need money because people always need something in their life

[Nhebu]

I think the physical purpose of humankind is to have a good life. House, cars, buildings, yachts are just one of the materials we dreamt. These things are run by money. Therefore, we want to have money. However, I cannot say that money is the motivation of the people. It is just what we want to have for. My motivation is my family. They are my inspiration to move up.

For me some bitcoin users are motivated by the money. The money can make the people to become a hard working person, We all know that the money can control people. So the money can motivate a some one because the money is very powerful.

I think for people that are poor, money will be very important for them. Because they need money to buy food and water, and to meet their basic living needs. For rich people, maybe money is not that important, but for me, money is like the more the better

[maxreish]

Everybody have a different perspectives in life. For me,  money is the most sought by the majority of all the citizens in one country, especially now,  most of the commodity are constantly increasing prices.

[parapencariuang]

I agree with the things you mentioned because the people you mentioned have different thoughts from people today, because in this era people are looking for money to buy luxury items so that they are more widely known and viewed as rich people.

[chaklee1]

Money is the motivation for people to face their needs and desires. When a person has enough money not to care about minimum needs like food, housing, etc, he or she has time and resource to create something innovative beneficial for everyone. I think money is one of the main motivating factors, but not always. Some people find motivation in fame, appreciation, and power. Sometimes, these people’s needs are stronger than money.

Of course there are people who do things just to better mankind or to help society (scientists who research incurable diseases funded by donation money).
But I think there are more people who do it for the money so they can live their ideal life. The world is driven by money and selfishness.

[Naida_BR]

This example is typically derived from the Maslow pyramid where needs are in hierarchical ranked. As long as you go to the next level, however, your salary rate increases. This is the reason why people who contribute to the society and the global economy become rich eventually.

[Nolimitz84]

By and large, scientists-geniuses do not live by material thoughts.Their brains work differently.They are not driven by money but by new ideas and methods of their implementation.

[brotherwood12]

but IMHO , money right now is the main idea why people do their job , but yeah not all people like that , but majority are like that and that real happens

i dont think so. most of the people are money oriented. although not all. money is not everything, but everything need money

I agree, money is very weak motivation. People need understanding of meaning of their job. And when they have understanding of their way. It bring awesome result.

If money was such a poor motivator as you claim, businesses will not be doing everything that they can to try to get as much profits as possible, even some of the greatest genius in the history of humanity were motivated by money, of course they wanted to reach something greater than themselves and wanted to make great discoveries and to create great inventions but at the end money is a necessity for everyone and we need it to survive.

So we need to accept the reality money is one of the greatest motivators in the world, if it wasn't for money and what it buys people will not wake up at 5 o'clock to go to their jobs and work long hours at a job they hate, they do that great sacrifice because they want the money and nothing more.

Exactly.While money is not a great motivator of people way back from past decades,we cannot deny the fact that at the current time all people are greatly motivated by money to work hard to gain more money so they can cater to all their family's needs.So money is really of high necessity for all of us because without it,we can't do nothing and cannot survive then.

If we talk about innovation, then we will also talk about creativity. Creativity can be said to be something that can provide updates in many aspects. The challenges of the times will be able to be answered by creativity which we can meet in everyone. Creativity is a flow of ideas that are still in our minds into something that can be called work or masterpiece. Creativity needs to be ignited and honed because it's the ability to see associations when others cannot. So one's creativity can produce innovations or something that's truly different. Whether it's creating a new product or creating solutions to problem-solving. Innovation requires creativity because one must be able to connect abstract ideas and other facts, with existing scenarios before making something unique and different. So there's a close relationship between the two.
Unfortunately, the human mindset's more advanced than its technology, greedy and greedy capitalists, often making it their business field. No doubt, history has also recorded their greed from buying a work by force or killing its creator as happened to Tesla.

Yes that is the truth of today.Money brings happiness to the people because if you have money,you can buy all the goods and services you want.And without having enough money today,you can barely survive in this world.

People are motivated by rewards. And a reward can be money, better life conditions, more comfort, more accessibility and Capitalism is a good way to give each person the reward he/she really deserves. It's a natural way of life, there is no reason to create so many polemics around it.

In countries where Capitalism is strong the youngs are blaming it. And in countries where Capitalism is weak people are starving or fleeing to other countries, especially the youngs. So, caution with what you desire, it might become true and the reality can be very different from your expectations.
