When your employees are faced with a tough project, late nights at work, or a vacation day cancelled because of a deadline crisis, isn't it inevitable that they will feel angry and defeated, and that their performance will flag as a result? Organizational behavior experts Teresa Amabile and Steven Kramer answer with a resounding No. In this chapter, they explain how and why making progress on meaningful work--even under frustrating circumstances--in fact feeds the motivation and the deep engagement that is crucial for positive inner work life and ongoing blockbuster performance. The authors reveal the hard evidence for this idea, which they call the Progress Principle, and then show how you can both measure progress and take advantage of it through "catalysts" and "nourishers" in order to deliberately motivate your employees. Based on thirty years of research and detailed workplace diaries from individuals at seven organizations, this chapter is full of examples that attest to the surprising energy and enthusiasm that progress can generate if you manage it correctly. This chapter was originally published as Chapter 4 of "The Progress Principle: Using Small Wins to Ignite Joy, Engagement, and Creativity at Work."
