Money is the biggest motivational factor

I support this side and thanks for the referral Mr.Amit Madhav.

I should prefer respect because respect can give you money but money can't give you true respect.

Money is an important motivational factor, but it is not the only factor. Respect and other related factors are also important motivational factors for an individual. Thus, money is not the biggest motivational factor for an individual....

Thanks for refer Krunal,

Money is at best a tool and having too many tools does not guarantee a better workman. 

Money earned through hard work and honest means demands value in return.

Earning money without respect (as per the debate) is not so big deed. Money is important, I won't deny. but it should not be the motivational factor for proffessionals, especially in the beginning of the career. Jumping from company to company based on monetary factor wont be a good platform for their future. In addition to this I would like to add some one liners.

Money can buy a bed -- But not sleep

Money can buy a clock -- But not time.

Money can buy a book -- But not knowledge

Money can buy you a position -- But not respect

Money can buy you  medicine -- But not health

Money can buy you blood  -- But not life

So you see, Money is not everything....

I agree that Money matters. You feel good for couples of month but after that it should be something more. I would like to quote one of my fav author here, that carrot and stick do not work always. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/yourbusiness/business-thinking/7752986/Forget-carrots-and-sticks-they-dont-always-work.html)

It has to be more. In my opinion it should be the passion for your work and honesty in your actions. If you have it, money will follow.

For me its always about earning respect. Because money can be earned any which way. You could even indulge in smuggling if money was the only motive but to earn respect it takes a lot of hard work and to retain that respect is even  more harder. Money can be earned, lost and again earned at any point of time in life but respect can be earned only once and if you lose your respect, you cannot earn it back.

But unfortunately in todays world it has become the other way round, money has indeed become the biggest motivational factor never mindecen if you dont have respect. It all about raking in the moolah.

Money and respect both are the motivational factors and are equivalent as both is required. If one will employ a person with less salary and give him more respect then how long he will work as money is the necessity of life. But if we see the other sides of coin then if a person will be getting more money but no respect at all then it will discourage him to leave the job and switch over to other where he will get both. So we cant stay on one side otherwise it will b biased.

Money brings artificial respect and respect brings useful white money. Choose the path you feel right.

HI AMIT.

MONEY IS OF COURSE IMPORTANT.PEOPLE WITH MONEY CAN DEMAND RESPECT BUT COULD NOT COMMAND RESPECT.ALL THINGS THAT FOLLOW A MONEY INDIVIDUAL,INCLUDING FRIENDS AND RELATIVES GO FAR AWAY FROM HIM WHEN HE LOSES THE MONEY HE HAS.ALL THESE ARE ONLY EPHEMERAL.ASPECTS LIKEGOOD WILL,REPUTATION,RESPECT ETC WHICH ARE NOT MEASURABLE LAST FOR EVER EVEN IF THE PERSON IS NOT ALIVE.

Money at best is an essential resource or a tool.

Could a jackpot or lottery win, earn respect, in lieu of money. 

Respect surely. requires much more discipline, perseverance and hard-work to earn. 

In fast paced world What can be seen, may alone, be what gets believed.

Money is definitely a great motivation, but respect pips the scale towards itself, anyday. Money has no value unless it is accompanied by respect.

If only you are clouded with Money you are regarded, respected,recognised & valued.

Well, both money & Respect motivates us. When we take sides we give up the real possibility for having both. Yes, it is possible to earn loads of money respectfully. It is wrong conditioning of the mind that tells us either money or respect. Again, it's a wrong belief that if you have money people will respect you. The real joy of being respected comes when people with proven track record on ethics, intigrity & values respect you not just lame ducks who salutes every tom dick & harry with money.

Money motivates & so do Respect. Its very much possible to have both Money & respect. Its the outcome of wrong beliefs that huge money would come only at the cost of self respect. or that once you have money you would be respected by all. you can create loads of money by having fundamental values in place & respect could be one of those values. money is only a means & not an end for after earning you spend it. But, when you earn respect you preserve it.

100% True, Mr. Mohammad

You can earn the money,but the respect is earned how you earn the money.

money is the thing you work for. i.e. essential but only money can't do everything you can buy a person's time with money but not his/her heart which respect can buy.

I completely agree with Amit on this. Right after the barter stage Money is the greatest motivational force of all time at the same time as on date respect counts equal or even more.

Its not very clear. Money is the biggest motivation factor for what? For doing business, for accepting employment, for continuing education, for joining services. In general if you say," money is the basis". You have seen so many inventions dumped between files without any translation due to paucity of funds/money. At the same time, Mother Theresa commanded respect just because of her respect towards services. Here, it is very clear the" Respect" brought her fame.

Money plays a vitol role where it is very necessary. Where as, Respect plays a role always & everywhere.

unfortunately money is the prime motivation factor... it is assumed that with great money respect is inevitable.. earning respect is a far more difficult task than earning money...

Money may be a motivational factor, but there are other motivational factors (that money cannot buy) like honesty, trust, respect and many motivational theorists and behavioral theorists have analyzed extensively on this aspect and currently, it is evidenced that money is not the only motivating factor.....

The Money,,, not a motivational BUT,

that itself is a Biggest Factor for almost everything for those who r concerns

We can make lot of money through having a particular talent which is valued but still there is value to respect which money can't buy. Respect played an important role in survival. When we are respected we gain voluntary cooperation of  people both in professional & personal life..

Money is here today and gone tomorrow - witness the fate of even billionaires who went astray.

Respect not only has to be earned , it also needs to be maintained. It is not like money , which once you invest properly , needs no more attention.

And respect is equally difficult to earn and retain ; unlike money , where if you have more , you can make it grow , as long as you don't throw it around.

The power to earn / make money is limited , and inevitably there will come a time in everyone's life when he / she cannot earn / make money. Respect can come to a person even after his / her death !

Money is not all, but yes it is a very very important factor. 

However, one has to strive a lot to earn respect. One is very well respected if he/she knows his/her field excellently. By this striving, one learns a lot not only about his field of work but also about many other things such as handling self, people & situations, etc. By striving one also sharpens his other skills. His other characters traits like self-confidence, self esteem, etc., improve and strengthen day by day.

All these would lead him to get a better earning job one day or the other. Money is a thing that comes to a person one day or other. A person who is particular about earning respect, would have strong character and would not squander money when he gets it. He already would be a wealth of character and is also bound to get monetarily wealth eventually. 

Motivation to do what?. The offer of more money is not going to motivate anyone to go beyond their capacity or character like steal or cheat and neither is money going to earn you respect. Earning respect will go a long way in making money too.

Money iz a motivational factor but NOT the biggest
