Back Cover AUTOMOTIVE AND MACHINE SHOP SECTION MOTIVES AND INCENTIVES By E- A. IRVIN, MS). Medical Director, Ford Motor Company, Dearborn, Michigan Mv subject is motives and incentive*. These interesting forces are frequently mis understood or ignored when dealing with l*-oplc. To make effective contact with real ity. with other persons and with the outside world, we must contribute some effort to understand mans needs. We must have in sight into and understanding of our own behavior, with an interest in trying to modify it. before we can begin to understand other.-. Some forces which act on individual* and help to determine their behavior are internal in nature, or what we may term cotrzictions: ther5 arc external in origin, which we may call incentives. The best environment is that which gives the individual the convictions and the incentives which will inspire him to exert his best efforts, be they intellectual, manual or artistic, toward the work of die world. That force from within an individual, rather than from without, which incites him to action may be called a motive. Almost all of us have strong convictions. Your convictions may differ from mine, and probably no two of us have the same con victions ; however, we may agree on some o: the more basic one?. Let us consider a few which are important. First: There are great opportunities and >*our chance to succeed depends mainly on your own efforts and ability. Aptitude is important but application is vital. Evalua tion and selection help the individual to coordinate his efforts most satisfactorily. As William Shakespeare said in one of hi? plays: "The thing that keeps men little is the fear of being great** The courage of your convictions and discretion oi experi ence will help you meet the challenge* f life. Second: There is no -ub>liiutc fur work, und in the long run a life filled with work is more enjoyable than any other existence. To contribute some effort to a source out ride oneself is healthier than a neurotic obse5?ion within one.-cli. To toil bv day and still be glad, one must have iaith in the future, strength for every deed. Third: Honesty and straightforwardness is the best policy, and we must believe and encourage the practice of this policy not just because it is a policy but because it is right Those with good habits will survive. The art of human relations speaks ox our capacity for fellowship, the conviction of Hjiidaritv that knits togetlier, the aspirations, illusions, joys, sorrows, hopes, fears, which bind together all humanity. Fourth: Wc must recognize and appreci ate the dignity of man, and recognize him as an individual. There can be no free society where the dignity of the individual is ignored. To raise the individual's evalua tion of self is a worthwhile goal. One must not lower his self esteem. There is no sub stitute for approval--proof oi trust and responsibility and faith in lu competence. Be ready with praise when it is deserved and sympathetic with failures when they occur. One must learn to accept painful experiences, whether physical or emotional, they also help to build better personalities. Face your problems--don't try to evade them, they will multiply. The defects we iossess never make tis look as ridiculous as the virtues we pretend to have. You never know when someone is taking your measure. Fifth: Merely making money and achiev ing power will not give enduring satisfac tion unless they are coupled with abundant and unselfish service to your fellow men. Self respect is a chief factor in determining mental health. The only security is emo tional security. Unfortunately today many an individual believes there are limited opportunities, that success depends largely c<n pull or luck, that his associate gets ahead because he is the pet of the boss: he believes that his own work is neither recognized nor appreciated. 3 Hi
