Do compliments from your superiors affect your work energy?

Question

Accepted Answer

@jaka_koprivec Affecting in bad way..no. Cuz my superiors have the tendency of changing the task once I do good work 😅

Answer

Nope

Shantanu Bhosale · Answer

@jaka_koprivec Not really. It mostly has to do with how much self motivated I am. If i think the task could have been done more effectively then a compliment from senior would have little effect on me.

Shantanu Bhosale · Answer

For me sometimes it does and sometimes it does not.

100% Jaka!

Whenever I get positive feedback about the work I've done, it gives me a rush of motivation and additional energy!

It really gives me purpose to keep pushing harder and get things done quicker!

Suyash Chaudhari · Answer

@jaka_koprivec I know right. I've also found it useful to use this fact to help those who aren't that confident - for example, I try to compliment a new team member on simple tasks as well so that they are more comfortable in the group.

Suyash Chaudhari · Answer

Compliments from ANY colleague definitely motivate me.

Dave Malicke · Answer

Yes, of course. but over a period of time if those compliments don't come with increased wages, then the compliments begin to have a negative impact on work energy.

@indu_thangamuthu Interesting! How come?

Jaka Koprivec · Answer

@shantanu96 Does this have anything to do with the supervisor that gives the compliment?
