3. Introduction
When we ask: “what motivates a person to risk his life saving
another? Or working long hours to achieve a particular goal
We usually means, why does he behave as he does?
The term “motivation” refers to the cause or why of
behavior.
Psychologists, then usually narrow the concept of
motivation to those factors that energizes behavior and
give it direction.
4. Concept of Motivation:
Motivation is something that encourages action
or feeling. To motivate means to encourage and
inspire. Motivation can also mean to turn on or
ignite the feeling or action.

motivational
process
Needs and Drives:
*A drive: “is an aroused state resulting from
some of bodily tissue needs, this aroused
condition motivates the person to initiate
behavior or action”.
*A need: represents physiological state of tissue
as food, water, oxygen or avoidance of pain.
9. MOTIVATING
FACTORS:
What we really want to accomplish is self-
motivation, when people do things for their
own reasons and not yours. That is lasting
motivation.
Remember, the greatest motivator is belief.
We must inculcate in ourselves the belief
that we are responsible for our actions and
behavior. When people accept
responsibility, everything improves quality,
productivity, relationships and teamwork.
