There's no doubt that these things are what make people "happy" in their careers. Money doesn't do it, it really doesn't. You have to feel like you are creating something, working for a greater good or goal. When it's just for money, it's a pretty shallow and short lived sense of meaning.In research for my book Evolve!, I identified three primary sources of motivation in high-innovation companies: mastery, membership, and meaning. Another M, money, turned out to be a distant fourth.
This sounds very similar to Dan Pink "Autonomy, Mastery and Purpose" as outlined in his book and in this great RSA Animate that forwardslash posted a while back.
