Models of motivation in software engineering
http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.infsof.2008.05.009
I've written about motivations a few times, so let me write another paper review. This systematic review is a very good set of references for research on motivation in software engineering.
This paper proposes a model where they identify intristic and extristic factors. Again, technology challenges are one of the main drivers. What are the others then? Well, some are:
- variety of task
- feedback
- intellectual stimulation
- individualized consideration
- ...
The interesting thing is that they also put some numbers on how important different aspects are in a number of different models which they investigate.
I also recommend reading http://www.jstor.org/stable/249347 where the motivation is evaluated from the perspective of job satisfaction. This particular paper is a bit old, but still interesting.

Hi
That's true, this paper deserves to be looked at, however , I think motivation in SE needs to be treated carefully because of the valuable expected outcomes.
I think motivating SE should be conducted within a cohesive chain of motivation within any organisation, in another word, leaders and managers and even SE teams leaders should be motivated and should know how to motivate others.
Motivation literally still considered as a tool not a strategy
Best luck
