What really motivates us? Are you motivated by money or more by intrinsic motivators?

In this presentation Dan Pink challenges the notion that money motivates us at work. He goes over research that proves this is not true, when in fact money incentives can actually cause poorer performance. This seems to me to go more in line with psychological health. When presented with a higher cause as motivation rather than money people have better success. Also people were allowed to have their own time to work on their own projects at work. At Google this time is where 50% of their ideas/products are formed. I believe this can be attributed to self realization by feeling self worth.
