That he is bureaucratic, practical, suspicious and transitionally symbolic are reasons why money is Creon's prime motivation in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).

Specifically, Theban King Creon behaves bureaucratically when he is all caught up with his laws and policies. Creon demonstrates practicality when he speaks of the security of his people and the stability of his state. He expresses suspiciousness when he interacts with every single character and chorus member in the play. He symbolizes in his bureaucratic, practical and competitively suspicious nature the transition from the traditional society of Princess Antigone's family ties, gods and traditions to the modern state of cut-throat competition, godlessness and workaholicism.

What is Antigone's prime duty in 'Antigone'?

Allegiance to the dead is Antigone's prime duty in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban Princess Antigone says that she will spend more of her existence in the Underworld of the afterlife than in this world of the here and now. Disrespect to dead family members and Thebans may not be punished in this short lifetime if so sanctioned by the illegal edict of her uncle, King Creon. But it is punishable for all time in the next world because below-ground burials and funeral rites are guaranteed by the gods.

To what extent is money an effective motivator?

Money is the prime and end target for any professional in an organization. Many people says they do not work for money. For most of the people says so - its a lie. Everyone works in an professional organization are working for money. Otherwise they would have been working in charitable or non-profit organization. There are other aims too like Respect, Accomplishment, Authority etc. however all comes after money. Now for motivation money is not a good one. Whenever there is a award given in form of MONEY the person may feel motivated, but for one or two days only. With the awarded money he/she would buy something. As soon the thing becomes old the effect of money as motivator vanishes. If the money is awarded in continuous basis like monthly increment in allowances, the motivation effect remains alive for few months. As soon as he/she gets use to that money the effect of motivation vanishes. For motivation best and longest lasting award is "Giving importance" and "Publicly appreciation". All the good employees loves to work, otherwise he would not have been chosen for award. I personally like to award him the most prestigious project responsibility with end to end authority. All the employees like to have some authority for himself. My second award for motivation is awarding the person in a public gathering like weekly floor meet or monthly performance meet. Here i use the Kenneth Blanchard way very much - "Reprimand in private, appreciate in public"
