THE MIRARCO DIFFERENCE

Many theories exist about motivation and job satisfaction. The majority of these theories believe job satisfaction is complex and a multi-step process. Typically the first step consists of minimal factors that are needed to have satisfaction in a job. Some of these are: pay, status, job security, working conditions, company policy, peer relations, and supervision.

All these factors have to be present for someone to be satisfied in their job, but increasing any or all of these factors will not result in significant increase in job satisfaction. To truly enrich a job and to make employees continually strive to do their best a supervisor can: introduce new or more difficult tasks, assign specialized tasks to enable individuals to become experts in a subject or field or grant additional authority to employees.

Comparing these models to how work is done at MIRARCO, allows one to see how we motivate differently from many companies. As a research company, MIRARCO encourages individuals to engage in topics they are passionate about, and provides the time and resources to become experts in that topic or problem.

Staff and students pursue their research using cutting-edge technology such as the 3-Dimensional Virtual Reality Laboratory, Design and Training Laboratory, Geomechanics Research Laboratories, Analytical Facility, and more. Of course, we strive to include other job factors important for a fun and challenging working environment, including competitive salaries, and a working location second to none in Sudbury, Ontario.
