In today's organizations, employee engagement is vital--more is being required of workers than ever before. In this new edition of his classic book, Kenneth Thomas draws on the latest research findings to identify the key to employee engagement: intrinsic motivation. Only intrinsic rewards--rewards that come directly from the work itself--encourage the profound commitment and sense of ownership needed for a truly engaged and innovative workforce. Thomas identifies four intrinsic rewards, explains exactly how and why they build engagement, and provides a diagnostic framework to evaluate which need boosting and how to boost them. The second edition has been revised and updated throughout, with an expanded section on how leaders can identify their own intrinsic rewards and new tools, tips, and practices for encouraging intrinsic motivation in others.

在今天的组织中，员工参与至关重要——对员工的要求比以往任何时候都高。肯尼思·托马斯（Kenneth Thomas）在其经典著作的新版中，借鉴了最新的研究成果，确定了员工敬业度的关键：内在动机。只有内在的奖励——直接来自工作本身的奖励——才能鼓励真正投入和创新的劳动力所需的深刻承诺和主人翁意识。Thomas确定了四种内在奖励，准确解释了它们如何以及为什么建立参与度，并提供了一个诊断框架来评估哪些需要提升以及如何提升。第二版自始至终都经过了修订和更新，其中有一个关于领导者如何识别自身内在奖励以及鼓励他人内在动机的新工具、技巧和实践的扩展部分。
