'Autonomy, mastery and purpose' is from Dan Pink [0].
I think both lists, and most if not all of the comments here, are missing a notion of status or prestige.

These are certainly interesting forms of loyalty but they fall a long way short of capturing what motivates a person in their job.
I can't recall the source but at some point I found the following list and feel it's a better set of overall motivators:
- automony: the ability to work how and when you want to work in order to deliver an outcome
- mastery: excelling at a craft you enjoy and is respected by your peers
- purpose: feeling connected to your work and that it helps others in a meaningful way (I'd fit the 4 forms of loyalty here)
- fairness in compensation: the sense that you're compensated fairly with respect to colleagues, industry peers and beyond.
