| Abstract: | The effective management of the creative abilities of professionals and technologists forms a cornerstone of any innovative endeavour but studies into how these companies achieve their strategic leadership have focused more on management style, marketing prowess, and similar methods, not on how they met the motivational needs of their professionals and technologists. This paper describes the results of a research study into the motivation of this group of staff in an attempt to isolate key motivators and to offer a management model which can be used by managers to get the best from their knowledge workers. |
