Are you motivated enough to work at a university (salary, bonuses for work, payment for research, etc.). What would you like to change in this issue at your university?
For full-time faculty members of the university, definitely not.
The main motivation that makes you love your job is the positive work environment, not just the material incentives and wages, and that you have an important message, a goal and a vision you want to achieve.
It is a priviledge to work at a university. Still I worry that teaching does not seem to have enough status. Finding the good balance between being education intitutions and research institutions is critical for the future of our universities. The key to my own motivation is working in a university that stays relevant, meaningfull and in participation to the society we are set to serve. Denis Polenov Khalid aswad Layikh Khalid aswad Layikh

Maslow believes that there are five groups of basic needs (ranging from physiological needs to safety needs and then social needs and needs assessment and finally "self-affirmation needs as in the following figure:
The organization's methods to meet the above needs are as follows:
1 - Physiological needs: It is the base of the pyramid, and represents the most important things for the basic human (food - air - water - housing), and this category can be obtained by the worker salary, so that the salary is sufficient for those needs, nutrition programs and food , Services and housing programs.
2 - Safety needs: After satisfying the physiological need, the person starts looking for security, and the person in this category is looking for a safe working environment free from physical and psychological damage, and organizations satisfy this need by providing workers with materials and equipment for prevention of risks - Health insurance, social insurance, official and permanent employment contracts, following the instructions of civil defense. .

Salary is one of the most important means to satisfy the material and social needs of individuals. Studies have shown a positive relationship between job satisfaction and income level. The higher the level of income, the greater the satisfaction of individuals with their jobs and vice versa.

The content of the work is the powers and responsibilities and the degree of diversity of the tasks, where the individual is satisfied when he grants the powers to accomplish his work as individuals wish to be independent and assigned various tasks to them and this is achieved through the design of jobs, which raises their satisfaction rates.

Yes, I have worked at universities and retired currently. University pay is less but it has many other advantages of academic freedom and ability to take additional courses free of charge. There is considerable joy whenever a student gets a concept or idea and is thrilled about it during or after a class session
For full-time faculty members of the university, definitely not.
I am motivated enough to work at my university in terms of salary, bonuses for work, payment for research. In addition to all this a satisfied working environment alongwith funds to perform research activities must be provided to the professore for effective contribution to research and development.
Lecturers are role models and pace setters, and that's where the motivation lies for most of us. The conditions of service seem a little bit discouraging at some point. However, there's always a brighter side of the job: self fulfillment!!!
Yes, although salary, bonuses for work, payment for research as mentioned by you are nothing close to motivation. We are motivated by seeing our products become great in life.
Yes, I worked as a university professor with my desire and strong motivation
I am working at University as a Professor.I wish everyone well.
I am motivated for factors like helping the students to achieve their goals. Regarding salaries, bonuses and so on, my answer is a capital NO ;-)
