4. So, why do we throw more money at people?

If what you are doing to motivate involves money in any form pay raises, bonuses, gifts, trips, etc., it is called extrinsic or external motivation. Another way to put it is a performance award.  

This only works for short term spikes!

There is an old time belief that if you dangle a financial carrot and you smack 'em with a stick every once in a while, management can get results.  The truth is that this method does have an effect on performance, but most likely not the 'desired' effect.

Central theme: Are you looking for short term fixes or long term results?
