That's exactly my point, money is, after all, the greatest motivator. You give someone a good job environment and good pay and they should reflect that.
Of course, you're still going to get people who are unmotivated even in the best working environments, if you didn't then Human Resources and middle management wouldn't have a role to play. However, giving a person a living wage should go a long way. If that person decides to spend that wage on drink and drugs rather than living then that is their choice and it will reflect in their work ability (showing up hung-over, stealing from work to buy more drugs) and they will likely wind up either fired or warned into behaving appropriately.
It's by no means a one shot solution, no solution is perfect, but I think that it would go a long way.
