Why is motivation important?

Wunderwork values intrinsic motivation and meaningful work for IT freelancers.

Motivation matters

A motivated employee / freelancer will perform better because motivation drives individuals to put in the effort required to achieve their goals, have a positive attitude towards their work, and be more engaged and committed to their job. For knowledge work this impact is even bigger. IT freelancing is a profession that is executed by highly capable and well paid people. It is a typical profession.

We at Wunderwork think, that it could be even a lot more than that. The motivation and the positive impact on our world can also be part of it.

Motivation drivers

At Wunderwork we embrace the differences between people: what is amazing and motivating for one person can be the opposite for someone else. For IT Freelancing we see especially in the intrinsic motivation and the work environment meaningful difference for a perfect fit.

One example is a project in an organization that is very fast-paced and result-oriented with a direct feedback culture which requires the work to be done mostly on your own. The other project is in a highly-collaborative environment where the taking along the stakeholders is of highest relevance. Both projects require different attitudes and will be a perfect fit for different people.
