I think M,I,and E (hopefully not C) could also be considered motivations for convincing someone to change jobs?
(In my experience, recruiters from a well known FAANG company like to lean HEAVILY on E. Jokes on them, because the right answer is M!)

Money and Ideology are positive incentives, Coercion and Ego are generally painful incentives.
Hype a position up like someone has creative autonomy to lead, because it strokes their ego, then later just shrug.
Now imagine if we make universal health care and universal college education free of cost and available everywhere to everyone regardless of income. I bet military recruiters' job will become a lot harder.
This makes me wonder: why can't we use ego in civil service? I'm thinking police, firefighters, and transit workers (from the bottom all the way to top management). Because after all, if we want to reduce cost (and I hope we all do) then what's better than to reduce pay?

There's a missing item: 'Duty + Guilt'. Governments will use a softer form of this coercion whilst trying to imbue a sense of national duty (I guess a kind of 'ideology') upon individuals, guilting them into 'doing the right thing for their people'.
The Chinese government plays at least a small role on many Western campuses helping organize their expats, promoting their agenda etc.
Think more along the lines of Honeypot and blackmail when you think Coercion in this sense.
