Monetary Motivation Disillusions Future Expectations?

Money makes the world go round. Having a handful of it makes you and I smile. Buying what we want, when we want is pure bliss. But is money all that appropriate to be used as a motivation factor? We can certainly reward someone in monetary means for a job well done. But should we give someone money as motivation to do a good job?

This is like giving a kid $5 and asking the kid to color properly. How does one measure a good job? Shouldn't the satisfaction of doing a good job be enough motivation to try our best in performing our tasks? Perhaps it should but yet, this is not the reality that we know of.

Giving someone money before a task is performed automatically causes the person to expect a similar arrangement the next time. And when this is not met, will the quality of the task suffer as a result?

Money, they say, is the root of all evils. Man, as have been proven time and again, are always greedy. You give them the world, they will ask for the stars next. I believe one does not have to be pushed to do a good job. Certainly not by any monetary means. Would more money spur you to do a better job?

Note: Not a very strong post. Disjointed thoughts, to say the least.
