Why do you or don't you work hard

What things get you really working at your job? Or are there things that cause you to just sit back and not care as much.

Since my job involves helping people (hospice social worker), I'm always motivated to do my best. If I don't, my clients suffer.

I'm probably most motivated when it's for the good of the company rather than something that a director with no technical knowledge thought was a good idea

I tend to get into the more difficult jobs as well, I like doing stuff that no one else can.

I seem to naturally work pretty hard, because I'm so hard on myself. I also find that time goes by much more quickly if I stay busy!

I am not working too hard at the moment. I am about to get a new assignment and have kind of been enjoying the time in between. I have things I could be doing, but....

I kind of like the jobs that have a hard deadline to meet. It just seems to make the time pass so much faster.

I work because I get to do what I want to do. I am my own boss and work my own business.

I usually work pretty hard and am motivated by my own needs. What others want really doesn't concern me much, so I can stay fairly relaxed and focused, which leads me to greater productivity.
