What makes us feel good about our work? | Dan Ariely

- What motivates us to work? Contrary to conventional wisdom, it isn't just money. But it's not exactly joy either. It seems that most of us thrive by making constant progress and feeling a sense of purpose. Behavioral economist Dan Ariely presents two eye-opening experiments that reveal our unexpected and nuanced attitudes toward meaning in our work. (Filmed at TEDxRiodelaPlata.)

I personally wish success and happiness for you and anyone reading this! You WILL overcome your tribulations by remaining that GREAT person that you are! I KNOW it! Just keep going.
We loved this sentence from Dan "By getting people to work harder, you actually got them to love what they're doing into a higher degree". Great video and thought-provoking ideas on "meaning" "efficiency" "talent".
unfortunately they found out he faked his research, faking his data 😅
Ariely's talk are always fascinating. Good things to know, and so broad that almost anyone can relate to them
The most awesome talk. I worked for a company and felt like in the situation with the shredder. Beautifully explained !!!
Fucking worse. Hope you're alright now
Excellent talk. I've been saying much the same thing for years but people just look at me like I'm nuts. Glad to see another who thinks like I do and even has evidence to show how it actually works. I told my old boss years ago he could be away with paying me less if he was just a bit more appreciative of my efforts. He didn't get it then or ever.
Love the origami experiment. Working harder on something more complicated and finishing it successfully instills feelings of pride, accomplishment and attachment. To those disconnected, it's simply not interesting.
Prof Ariely is one of the best psychology researchers in my opinion. He is just so awesome and his research so practical and insightful!
I learned so much from this talk and began to see things of higher value makes you more appreciative of it! Putting your thought into what little things people do is what makes you and them find meaning to be together for a purpose
If you want people to build many more toys for less to no compensation, instead of taking the toy apart at the end, have them hand it to a child.
Actually making something someone else is going to use, actually providing a service someone needs or wants, is a huge factor in how fulfilling a job is. So many of our businesses don't actually add any real value to anyone's life, and that's more depressing than anything. I was a lot more proud of my work when I made tombstones than selling software that people can use to sell software to other people who want to sell software, even though I'm making twice as much money.
I had this one class at this community college where we're given the task to write a report and create a presentation within 2 weeks. It's a group work and worth about 30% of our final mark. We put full effort into it putting at least 20 hours of work every week. We submitted our report and presented in front of the class, after a few days or so we have gotten our marks and our report back. One thing we noticed is that our written report wasn't checked at all and we are marked based on our presentation. We had the same teacher the next semester, the attendance of the class decreases as weeks goes by and students seem to care less about the projects and assignment that his giving as they're not being evaluated.
Pretty obvious
For the record, most of this guys research has been found to be fabricated , fake or downright false
Watching this as part of school assigment...
same
Same
same like me lol
same
For me it's my quiz 😅
Around 7:50... there is an exception...that is, IF I am building something for the sole purpose of having a toddler nephew destroy it (for the pure joy of the destruction) - I can build many many bionicles while watching him destroy with great joy the one I just built. The exception is if there is meaning in the destruction.
toddlers can. bigger men just do bigger distruction or constraction. ... just dont fn go on future territory, old timer

"Little Prince" says exactly the same thing.
I'm surprised how wise Saint-Exupery was.
I always love it when people with money say money is not the biggest motivator.
kkknotcool When greed is absent, people who adhere simple lifestyle, eventually spent their excess income on donation or good will.
Greedy people will just spent it on luxury.
There's definitely a threshold at which money is no longer the biggest motivator, and that threshold is much lower than you think. His ideas, for instance, are far more applicable to countries with higher avg household income and lower avg unemployment.
Just think to yourself what jobs you would and would not be willing to do 40 hrs/week year round for $50k/year. There's all kinds of motivators, and depending on each person's specific needs and personality differentiates at what importance each motivator plays.
In "1st world" countries the majority of people are not PRIMARILY motivated by money, it is certainly a big motivator, but rarely number 1. It is why the majority of american's hate their job despite how much or how little they make.
It's only the filthy rich who say money can't buy happiness.
@@TheShreyasBramhe I wouldn't say filthy rich.
If you have a few million then you aren't especially rich but you own your own time, which would make me pretty meh on money. IE the lack of money makes you more unhappy then the excess makes you happy.
I'd really like to meet Dan Ariely. The guy is so wise
Go to Duke and pick him up!
I'm Watching this as a feature of my college assigment.I loved this sentence from Dan "By getting individuals to work more earnestly, you really got them to adore what they're doing into a higher degree". Extraordinary video and provocative thoughts on "signifying" "proficiency" "ability".
Indeed, this practically covers the manufacturing plant working knowledge however no uncertainty it reaches out to each workplace.And you know, Ariely just tended to a solitary case made by Marx. He didn't guarantee that everything Marx said is correct or that Communism is the best approach. Because Carl Marx said it doesn't mean it definitely prompts Communism.
Loved the origami test. Working more enthusiastically on something increasingly confused and completing it effectively ingrains sentiments of pride, achievement and connection. To those disengaged, it's basically not intriguing.
Finally,this video really resonates with how I feel in college right now... I would try harder if I felt that there was more continuity to my school work.
I really like these TEDtalks.... i feel smarter after watching them.
I really relate to the ignored = shredded thing, when teachers give you homework, and then ignores it, and just carries on with class, I get really demotivated to do it next time.
Nice TEC talk by Dan Ariely about what motivates to put effort and engagement into something - thanks Richards for sending the link.
I loved this! The cake mix experiment was on point !
Another fantastic and thought provoking presentation Dan! Thanks!!
I think it can depend on personality. Some people have to have meaning to their work, and some have to have joy (or, enjoy it). I do agree, though, that most need to have a purpose.
what I have gotten from this talk
1. It makes sense that even though I have poured countless hours into music, other people's lack of care for it has led me to feel like quitting
2. Since I made it I probably thought it was way better than it really was anyway
fml
The idea that someone sees more worth in something they created based off of their work and not actual value it reminds of etsy. I've seen some pretty Overpriced ugly and cheap pieces. It's all a matter of how you look at things. This may be one o my favorite Ted talks to date :)
I was definitely oversimplifying in my frustration towards the comment i was responding to, because I definitely agree with you; that is probably a more accurate characterization of the root of the problem regarding America's partisan politics. I think nothing is more ironic than George Washington's warning that a party system would be the downfall of the U.S.
This video really resonates with how I feel in college right now... I would try harder if I felt that there was more continuity to my school work.
one minded approach is the real work dear.. if v r multitasking -no good results + no entertainment ..just focus and do ur best and make it less complicated to understand.......
17:37 me next to the hairless guy
people dont need money as motivation. money habs existed for about 2000 years so its a new invention. we have been working hard without it for 100s of thousands of years without it. we have made great things in the last few thousands because by traveling more (and conquering, sadly) we started to speak the same languages. the teamwork that we are capable of now is better so tech got better. money doesnt mean anything. we need it to survive in this world order but as anyone who has ever studies anthropology will tell you there are an infinite amount of ways of organizing the world this is just one
I think is the video casey neistat was talking about 11/2/2016
Matt C came here because of Casey too
haha
Just saw his documentary on Dishonesty on Netflix too, that's quite good also.
Any Coursera students?
Love Dan Ariely, freaking brilliant man!
The cake story hammers home! Excellent talk!
let me just also point out that i actually don't plan on staying in the UK, i'm going to do a placement year in a private equity firm in portugal next year. I could have got a better paid placement in the UK in terms of salary but working in private equity will give me so many more benefits than the salary that it isn't even something i take into consideration right now
I love what i do!
plus the money is good!
What do you do?
14:25 i always wondered about that!!! thanks for this video now i can explain alot of why i get unmotivated sometimes
Hahaha, funny. I got emotional watching this video. I almost cried because, in reality, this always happened. great video
really meaningful lecture
17:37 the man with the brown jacket on the bottom left is clearly very captivated by dan's presentation!
I'm sorry that I quit watching this video a while back because my internet disconnected. insightful experiments and talk.
are there any ted talks about how to get motivated? I know that once you start, it feels good to work hard. but what if it's a huge long term project that isnt fun but is important. what do you do to start that project? how do you motivate yourself?
Cathy Kuang : attempt different projects.
I always enjoy the talk of Dan...as he gives the real fact with experimental examples, that is the more iconic one to relate all this.. vary clearly.
The new opening sequence is WAY better.
Boy Im thankful this medium that is TED
this speaker is fantastic. I strongly recommend his other talks.
Having made 6 career changes over the last decade, this resonates so much with my thoughts on today's Great Resignation!
Why?
wow that's an awesome way to put it. great comment, thanks.
Wow, its beautiful explained between Efficiency and Meaning ..Great examples..
we always feel confused about life,but life continue,and history goes on
Every economist should watch this vid, and more than once, so the ideas stick.
Interestingly enough, I have an exam in Organisational studies next month and I was supposed to study about it, but ended up watching a TED lecture about the same subject :D
I love Dan's talks
Watching this as a part of my psychiatric nursing book.
youtube uses a particular script to count the views before the 300th view, it pauses for about 24 hours to check its counts are from human sources not bots.
because the code has "
I can absolutely picture the Bionicle in-universe villian Makuta Teridax doing the Sisyphus thing to his enemies.
digging a hole and filling it in over and over.... reminds me of the military...
work that has meaning, what a concept !
"by getting people to work harder, you get them to enjoy what they're doing to a higer degree"
It really is one of the best courses I've attended on Coursera so far :)
i love his talks. his research is genius.
He's so right.That was amazing!!!
Structuring a world/universe/multiverse to coexist and cohabit without money wouldn't that be a boon and a blessing?
Dan is tha man!
Dan Ariely gives interesting study about the human nature. A wonderful talk connected behavioral economics and very relevant. A very interesting study about the factors behind motivation. It's not money...honey....
Open School ac
Mentioned this in Colindale
This is good... more efforts to something creates love and liking
Yup, this pretty much covers the factory working experience though no doubt it extends to every workplace.
There isn't any uniqueness yet we all have a unique identity, what about equanimity and equilibrium? And oneness?
where can I find his research paper about the experiment?
Very interesting, I need to get my hands on managers' brains so I can teach them some =)
Giọng hát của ah Đức phúc hát đúng tâm trạng hay quá
To improve efficiency and derive pleasure out of work is to change the mind-set into one of detached attachment.
An action that is performed is non action when there is no involvement or motivation.
An action that is performed with the results in mind are Actions, which may cause disappointments when one is not appreciated or the work is destroyed.
Non action is an action is one where one performs an action or work because it has to be done without bothering about the consequences .
Another excellent talk by Dan Ariely. This guy is amazing :)
Great Talk.
tell me of one theory in management which isn't oversimplistic though? everything is subjective. what matters is the point he makes and the way he proves is valid and, if applied correctly, can bring benefits to any form of organisation
Money isn´t everything but it´s 100%
Very good info. Thanks a lot.
Because at a certain number of views, UA-cam decides to check if the views are real views or from bots that are trying to increase views to increase internet traffic towards the video. So the number of views will pause while its legitimacy is being checked but the number of likes don't get checked like views do.
Numberphile did a video on this and the 301 view count that most videos go through
I read this guy's book it was great
@sulljoh1 He is able to ask that merely as a rhetorical question because the point he is making is exactly that. We value OUR children incredibly high. So high an offer to sell them, that no reasonable offer would be given. You'd say something like "1 billion dollars." However he did not go into whether someone would actually follow through with it.
This so easy 1.) compensation 2.) mental stimuli 3.) purpose
Well, there's a really simple explanation to that paradox. You see, according to Einstein's theory of relativity, the faster you go, the heavier you get, and when you go really fast time slows down. Now, some people in Japan watch UA-cam whilst riding on high-speed rail systems and are able to register their likes before UA-cam back here in Neverland has time to even accept that they watched the video at all. Of course, they merely watched it in the future. Hope that clears things up. Cheers.
I enjoyed it a lot! Thank you!
Brilliant.
I suggest you all to join his course at Coursera, it's awesome.
This wil reduce corruption..vey sure! Last 10 minutes was vey good.
15:30 parents feel the same way
Whenever i cook it always feel like it tasted better :)
Money is the only reason i go to work, that is no lie
+Eden7sseldar Iraizoz
***** No more! I used to work the job I got a degree for, but I found out the flaws of the field and went for a job that sucks less
feminists liberated women. for labour
Yes we can say that money are the reason that we "go to work" but when we are there at work, we do work for various other reasons.
yes but you need meaning to push your workload more than usual. I bet you do a little as you can just to get by work
Could anybody tell me about the main important point of this presentation for instant I still haven't understand at all. I still weak in English. Thanks
Fantastic!!
Very interesting video. Had me glued till the end.
this was a really great talk
LOL Ikea "ok furniture, takes long time to assemble" hahahahahah! I love ikea stores.
Awesome, thanks Dan
Ah, in 2023 this video has aged like fine wine
thanks
Culture is not a science. As people are not metric.
With the right culture in a workplace anything is possible.
It will promote your people to govern themselves as if there are no rules. It will encourage them to all pull in the same direction even though their opinions may differ. It will create a workplace that promotes supporting each other as a community to take ownership of the brand they’ve come to represent as work.
The power of workplace culture is exponential when right and destructive when not.
So how do leaders ensure their company culture is right and unified across departments with different styles of leadership? How do they ensure a unified brand culture thrives across multiple offices in locations where native cultures may vary, or simply in the same office where people, being human will all be different.
Great leaders embrace the differences of their people with a unified culture that empowers them to thrive, their way, guided and encouraged by the values of a brand.
Sounds easy, then why are so many people not thriving at work?
Welcome to the reason why CULTCHA was born by three very different minds with a unified mission to improve the working lives of employees worldwide for the better.
Writing papers and tests for university makes me feel just this way.
Man, those were so awesome!
I never said that. But you are right, the product is called "LEGO". Legos are the pieces. You can most definitely say legos when you mean LEGO-pieces. It's just a shorter version.
