Having managed several people that have never even considered the idea of working "off their own back" - their self motivation can be non existant! This means of course that managing them takes more of my time, leaving less of it to be spread around in other areas. Frankly, if I could, I'd have everyone employed as full-time contractors - I.e. if you don't do it, when I want it, how I want it...you're out. And if you don't find that in itself motivating, then don't even try. Yes I know, I can be a little tough in the office! I’d like to add self motivation.
