Managing teams is different from managing individual contributors. Although there is clearly overlap in the "happiness factors," there is also clearly a different perspective. Here's what BLR's unique resource for smaller HR operations, HR Department of One, sees as key "happiness" (read retention and productivity) factors for teams: 

Shared concept/vision. Team members know where they want to go. They look to the future rather than dwelling on the past or focusing only on immediate demands.   

Agreement about their overall purpose. Team members who agree about their purpose set priorities and assign tasks that are meaningful. And that makes them feel that they're making a specific contribution toward a valued result.   

Team thinking. People enjoy the feeling of belonging to a group. Knowing that others depend on their work is a good motivator.   

 

 

Sense of responsibility to the group. Once they have committed to goals—especially those they helped establish themselves—team members feel a strong obligation to support the team, and not let the team down.  

Sensitivity to changes in individual roles. As roles develop and change, opportunities for learning expand. Members of a team get the benefit of learning from one another.   

Free discussion. Team members are free to present and argue their points of view safely. They feel that others really listen and respect their points of view.

Team-set goals. Because the team sets goals, priorities, and tasks, there is a way of evaluating and recognizing achievement. This makes work more satisfying.

Good one....... Team members definitely know their goals and they really work on it. But, these factors depends on their personal commitments, its not to do with what they do? its important why they do it?... This has to be understood by the management and help them manage both.

I believe recognition is the biggest motivation for anyone. If you are working in a team or leading one and you get the due credit for your diligent work, then only you can continue with your good work with more enthusiasm, passion, dedication and more determination.

Good one.....

I want share something about motivation....
Motivation for a fresher or a newly joined can be done through money. Money plays a major role in motivating them but as we go on for higher level. Money is not a major motivator, there are other reasons which motivates them which are difficult to figure out...as its difficult to figure out whats cooking behind ones mind at such an high position.... :)
