I think this question could be heavily influenced by the "collar-dness" of the place you're working. I'd venture to say that MOST of TFP works in white-collar jobs, where people tend to have a higher (or advanced) education, and who live in the middle to middle-high classes and have things like children, spouses and mortgages to pay for. In those cases, the person is intrinsically motivated to keep going to work and do enough at work to get paid.
In "blue collar" jobs, you have a lot of high-school dropouts with drug habits and POs following them around. No amount of "administrative" pressure can turn a person who has chosen this lifestyle into a highly-productive and motivated employee who is concerned for the success of the company.
