Fear: The great de-motivator for IT professionals

Fear: The great de-motivator for IT professionals

This is an opinion column in Computerworld Magazine. This supports the ecojoy idea that joy is the most powerful human motivator.

I contend that fear is not as effective as joy even in physical labor.
