7. So, what do you need to do to fix this?

Intrinsic motivation springs from inside an employee. I
t comes from a sense of accomplishment, a feeling of self-imposed obligation or responsibility, empowerment and ownership of the job.  They want to be involved because they feel like there is a purpose for what they do and this brings job satisfaction.  None of these things can be achieved by spending money.  All of these things make a huge difference in their individual lives and the company they work for. 
If employees feel that what they do is unimportant, they feel unimportant and the quality of the work performed is unimportant to them.
Again, as discussed on the first page of this website, this may seem oversimplified.  Some people reading this may think it sounds complicated.  Your point of view is critical in understanding.  It may sound like some kind of pop-psychology nonsense. But it is so simplistic that most managers miss it altogether. The first step to learning this management skill is to practice saying thank you. Constantly recognize little things they do with words like “Mary, I noticed how well organized these files are. Thank you for doing such a great job!”  You will find this very difficult to do at first, because it sounds weird and you are out of your comfort zone.
 
Central theme: Employee's work quality and commitment is tied to how they feel about their self-worth. 
This is what you want to cultivate!
