The Archetype Effect: Unlocking The Six Types of Motivation at Work

An in-depth, research-backed exploration of the answers to worker motivation

Based on an extensive global research program conducted in nineteen countries around the world surveying over forty-eight thousand people, The Archetype Effect delivers a new framework to understand and cater to worker motivators across roles, industries, and organizations. This book shows how workers can be classified into six major archetypes based on their motivations, and describes how recent disruptions, such as gig work, remote work and AI-assisted automation, are impacting worker motivators overall.

The archetypes discussed in this book include Givers: Driven by helping others, thrive in collaborative environments. Operators: Value stability and teamwork, prefer clear instructions and minimal risks. Explorers: Seek variety, creativity, and new experiences, prefer flexibility and innovation. Artisans: Motivated by mastery and pride in their work, prefer autonomy and focus on quality. Strivers: Ambitious and career-oriented, motivated by recognition and advancement. Pioneers: Visionary and entrepreneurial, driven by creating and often leading new ventures.
