A manager, who had just returned from a Motivation Seminar, called an employee into his office and said, "Henceforth you are going to be allowed to plan and control your job. That will raise your productivity considerably, I am sure."
"Will I be paid more?" asked the worker.
"No, no. Money is not a motivator and you will get no satisfaction from a salary raise."
"Well, if production does increase, will I be paid more?"
"Look," said the manager, "you obviously do not understand the motivation theory. Take this book home and read it; it explains what it is that really motivates you."
As the man was leaving, he stopped and said, "If I read this book will I be paid more?"
