This document summarizes Ujwal Ghimire's research paper on his Mental Processing Theory of Motivation. The theory proposes that motivation results from three phases: 1) a stimulus or motivator, 2) mental processing of that stimulus, and 3) a desired action. The mental processing phase is complex and involves a positive counterpart (PCP) that pushes one towards action, and a negative counterpart (NCP) that pulls one in the opposite direction. Motivation only occurs when both the PCP and NCP are present and increase proportionally together through a "pendulum effect." The research was based on interviews with over 5,000 people from various backgrounds.

3. RESEARCHERS WORD
Being fair and without prejudice we can easily say that motivation process is
a complex phenomenon which was mainly guided by thoughts of western
nations intellectuals and professionals, this was certainly due to small
number of research work in eastern nations and sample were lacking eastern
nations people .
Scholars of western nations have contributed a lot in the field of motivation
their sampling techniques and using of complex instruments to have
clinically verification of the facts are really praise worthy.
Western scholar generally recognize those things that they can measure but
they are very far away from those things that they can not measure since
they have not developed measuring scale for those things.
In research researcher had spend four years in which intensive observation,
interview and participatory observation methods were used .
Five thousand people were taken as sample size which varies from different
classes,gender,occupation,level etc.Some people like
farmers,teachers,students,bankers,politicians,brokers,administrators,police
army,doctor,engineers,retired personnels,labours,social workers,employs
from NGO and INGO,gamblers,cooks,criminals,lawers ,house wife,elderly
persons,disable persons,prist,sages,peoples from big cities to remote village
and also had about three hundred people interviewed from western European
countries ,America, Africa etc who have come to visit Nepal as foreigners.
I had given my effort to develop my own way of scaling and analyzing facts
which might stand standardized in the eyes of modern research techniques.
This is totally zero based research in which no hypothesis, background or
literature review have been imposed in research samples. As these are social
research I expect more research in this field to have more general theory and
I personally welcome all suggestions and criticism to this research and I
humbly thank you all who goes through this research paper.

4. MENTAL PROCESSING THEORY OF MOTIVATION
Motivation is the mental processing induced by stimulus/motivator which
gives desired action as output. So I have named it for the first time as
“Ujwal’s Mental Processing Theory of Motivation”.
Here this process can be disintegrated in to three components which can be
disintegrated in to three phases as follows:-
1 Phase First (STIMULUS/MOTIVATOR)
2 Phase Second (MENTAL PROCESSING)
3 Phase Third (DESIRED ACTION)
These all above three phases must be integrated properly so as to have
complete motivation process ,which are described as following :-
1) Phase First (STIMULUS/MOTIVATOR)
Stimuli are the constant force or input which are being pushed or forced
inside mind from different sides and directions.
Stimulus can be of different quality and nature which are being bombarded
in several numbers to mind at a time.
Of several stimulus mind gives priority to one of them, unprioritized
stimulus may be processed next time or they may remain unprocessed in
brain and is neglected.
Priority depends upon external factors like time, situation, condition and
environment. Priority is never sequential or hierarchical but dynamic and
complexly interwoven subject.
Stimulus with high value of PCP and high value of NCP is processed first
and has higher priority than others. Here PCP and NCP itself rely on time,
situation, condition and environment. Detail about PCP and NCP will be
described in coming literature.

5. For e.g. Person is motivated by food when he is hungry but not melodious
song so hunger is prioritized first than entertainment when other external
factors are weak.
For e.g. Case like person enjoys self actualization though he is hungry.
Even man forsakes food for entertainment.
For e.g. Person whose higher level of need got fulfilled and is in higher
position in employment or higher level in government may be motivated my
delicious food.
It was prevailed assumption that needs may be hierarchical up to some
extent and it is true in some cases but there was plenty of cases in which this
hierarchical sequence was not found.
Actually motivators are totally independent of each other .Person may fix
themselves to any level of and type of motivator and may not try to change
their position even if other motivators works out.
In this globalize modern world too it is found that man attaches
himself/herself to death and try to get suicide ,man even does not accept
money but loves freedom etc. The condition is very hard to describe because
we always analyze by seeing outside factors but what is actually working is
that we are forgetting internal variables working out. In these cases death
makes more satisfied than other thing, hunger gets less value than freedom.
For most of the time we calculate external factors which can be helpful to
motivate person because internal variables are commonly normal, but
situation where internal variables are in work than at that time they can be of
more value than internal variables, and can motivate fast and have
dominance over external factor.

6. 2) Phase Second (MENTAL PROCESSING)
Mental processing is one of the most important stages in motivation which is
very complex.
The prioritized stimulus is processed in brain. Motivators /stimuli are
processed in brain so as to have desired action. Generally people can view
motivator named as positive counter part (PCP) the stimulus forcing the
person to have required action but there is one other factor working which is
unseen which are named as negative counter part (NCP) which is working in
the opposite direction. Here one unique characteristic is found i.e. as PCP
increases in the same way NCP also increases that is they are directly
proportional to each other.
NCP are the most important factors which makes person motivated if there
is no NCP than motivation is simply unworkable. So motivation at all times
except some exceptional case like enlightment stage motivation process
needs need of both factors NCP and PCP.
For e.g. Food would not have been the motivator if its NCP (hunger) is not
available.
In this phase research gave light to different situation and condition which
was very new phenomenon, which are listed and illustrated below with the
help of different describing tools as follows :-
2.1) PENDULAM EFFECT
Here the person is motivated because the motivator/stimulus while being
processed in brain is duplicated into homologous negative counter part
which is opposite that of motivator factor (PCP) .So because of dual effect
of pushing factor (MOTIVATOR/PCP) and pulling factor (NCP) makes
person always to be motivated. If pulling factor (NCP) is not available than
person stops to perform and there can be no motivation.

7. In pendulum we see that if pendulum is made to move to right side from the
rest position (NORMAL) than it is obvious that it will move back to left
from the rest position .So as long as pendulum have the energy up to which
it can move to one direction it moves in that direction only but as soon as
that pushing energy is finished it is forced to move to opposite direction and
attains higher position in another side and we see that pendulum do not stops
in the normal rest position.
For this reason person can be said as being at the position of motivation and
generally try to achieve more and more and move in one direction to achieve
that sides higher position or level which never going to end if not he will be
gradually pulled to other side, in which we can clearly see the dual effect of
pulling and pulling factor.
For e.g. person would not have been motivated by food if there was no
availability of hunger. In the same way we can proceed for any case which
becomes to have same general result.
For e.g. millionaire never gets satisfied he is too in search of more and more
money or income this is all due to NCP (expenditure) which makes one
afraid or concern and motivate to go further to earn and earn. Here if there
was no expenditure than income and motivation by money would have been
stopped.
For e.g. Lord Buddha would not have gone for search of peace unless and
until he had seen misery outside the palace .Lord Buddha was motivated by
NCP (misery) so that he can be motivated to have search for peace. So in
every motivation process there is dual effect simply one effect can not work
out.
Another surprising behavior was also noted, it is considered that if NCP is
decreased than man will be more motivated but that was not the case
.Decreasing NCP also makes man less motivated towards the PCP. If NCP’s
standard and value decrease than in the same way the PCP value and
standard also decreases.

8. For e.g. If the hunger is less than the value of food search also decreases.
Note: - This all behavior is best described by pendulum behavior so
pendulum has been taken as example; here pendulum has nothing to do with
the special behavioral or practical attachment with the research process.
2.2) CIRCUMSTANTIAL VARIABLE
It was found that there should be always be up and down situation or
condition or simply saying condition making one feel that change is
happening which can create conductive environment to motivate person.
It was found that it is not always money and other human behavior which
can motivate people. Motivators are not mono directional and are not
hundred percent standardized , so that one motivator can be replaced by
another motivator or suppressed by another motivator or simply say
compromise the main motivator which can be named as circumstantial
variable.
For e.g. simply simple changes that can affect our sensory organs and make
them sense positive change can make one in motivation. Changing colour
,light ,smell, sound ,outer environment, furniture setting ,air conditioning
,dress can make person to indulge in these changes and have some relief and
can act as compromiser for main motivation factor up to some extent .If we
can handle all these simple circumstantial variables perfectly and nicely than
best result can come out.
For modern personnel management system circumstantial variable must be
considered giving a lot of importance because these can be very efficient and
crucial to motivate personnel. This process needs professionals like
researchers, psychologists, engineers, architects etc.
2.3) TEA EFFECT
This effect is very important seen in special cases. This is a special mental
processing stage found in typical special conditions only.

9. As we drink tea we found it sweet. As we go on increasing sugar sweetness
goes on increasing but as we decrease sweetness the sweetness the
sweetness decreases drastically we cannot even feel the moderate sweetness.
After eating chocolate if we are offered to drink tea than we can not feel the
sweetness of tea, if feels as if we are drinking only hot water without sugar.
The same phenomenon is found inside person .If the person of high stage for
e.g. in higher grade in employment and have generally achieved higher
position and prestige than if there is any drastic irregular case or condition of
demotion of his position or prestige than he/she becomes very depressed and
his condition of motivation falls below than he have to adjust himself. If any
one can manage it than it is high chance that he/she can achieve
professnalism quality to very high level but it is very hard to work out.
For e.g. if any high level employ is decreased in his level in job by simply
by one grade i.e. suppose from grade 8 to grade 7 than he have motivation
not like that of grade 7 but it falls far less than that of grade 7 .He/she is to a
large extend demotivated to work and perform.
Another example which can be special case, where mental processing is
moduled where NCP is not made to known to person. In this way PCP is
high but NCP is not made to known to person by making NCP hide from
person by introducing false illusionary teaching method. At this case if NCP
is suddenly introduced person feels as if he/she is in shock and motivation
level falls very sharply but if one uses it as the lesson and build courage to
over come that situation than he/she becomes master or professional. For
e.g. As Lord Buddha was suddenly made to know about misery he was very
shocked because he had high value of PCP( peace and happiness) and was
not aware of misery which was introduced in himself by illusnary teaching
method in which misery was made hidden to him. But lord Buddha had a big
courage and took it as a lesson and achieved enlightment. This drastic high
level of NCP has great power to motivate people if used properly. This

10. drastic difference in value between PCP and NCP is not found in general
people so they are not affected largely by tea effect phenomenon.
2.4) GAMBLING EFFECT
Like that in tea effect, the person is seen to be demotivated in instantaneous
time like in gambling.
For e.g. person winning Rs. 10000 if have Rs. 5000 after the completion of
another round of game and the game is closed than person does not feel
happy for remaining Rs.5000 as winning amount but becomes sad for Rs.
5000 which he have lost from initial amount that was Rs. 10000.So it was
found that this was proved fact for other behavioral conditions of persons
also. So this rule out that time motivation is independent of time ie one can
be motivated instantly or expending long time like in tea effect.
2.5) ENLIGHTMENT STAGE
Enlightment stage is very unique phenomenon occurring very rarely in
persons mind and mental processing which is a stage of no need. Generally
western writers and scholars think that this stage might be a stage of need
possible to occur at the higher stage of need after self actualization in
maslows-hierarchy of need, but this is not the case .Actually research have
found that enlightment stage is stage of no need .Person of any stage or level
of maslows-hierachy of need can achieve this stage.
In research process there was no live proof or evidence of enlightment to
purest form or standard but after having interviewing sages and priests and
religious documents, documentary of enlightened persons it was conformed
that enlightment stage is there and which occurs in very rare cases only.
In research it was found that each and every man is in deep search of some
thing which is of something like godly thing but they cannot name it which
can be no thing other than that of enlightment in my thought so I simply
called it as enlightment .

11. It was found that none of the stimulus was or can be of such capacity or
power or level so that person can be motivated to hundred percent for any of
the need of maslows hierarchy of need or other. Person can be motivated to
99.9% but not hundred percent .so none of the motivators can act as factor to
have 100% motivation stage of any type of motivation.
Some time the people may feel to achieve 100% satisfaction and there is no
place for need, these all case are illusionary enlightment stage is seen which
is not true enlightment. For e.g we may say that people at the birth are
enlightned because there is no need, in the same way for dead we can say the
same that there is no need at all so they are enlightned, The true explanation
is that for baby the need is unheard in audible sense and for dead he/she is
no more human being and is simply non-living subject.
Research have found that this enlightment stage is a stage with no need ,the
stage in which stimulus of specific type gets processed directly to action by
not going through complex mental processing but for most of the case
stimulus remains ineffective by not inducing mental processing to have
required action.
Unlike other things and phenomenon enlightment can not be described in
words but it is the matter that one has to perceive by himself .So words
become insufficient to describe enlightment.
Person of any stage can be enlightened either he is rich or poor, king or
beggar, small or big etc. This stage can be switched to any person at any
time which is very unique and very hard to explain by pure science.
If we describe this stage with pendulum effect than in this stage pendulum
does not moves but only time is increased .Which means pendulum retains
its stage of rest and simply reaction comes out ,here simply relation between
pendulum and time breaks away .Some time even time also does not
changes pendulum simply have a rest position.

12. 3) Phase Third (ACTION)
Action is the last stage of motivation which helps people to evaluate if
person is motivated or not.
Some time people are partially activated only from inside showing no outer
action which makes very complex situation to recognize weather stimulus is
motivator or not, this may be due to insufficient efficiency of motivator or
stimulus .Unless and until the stimulus can break the stagnant phase of brain
to have processing to have result unto that point stimulus have no
importance in motivation.
Action should not be seen as physical movement only because person can
sometime be motivated mentally showing very less physical action in regard
to motivation.
Some actions are unique in which only stimulus directly creates a action in
which we generally see that mental processing is absent. For e.g. chain of
orders in force like police, army, order to small kids in which the person is
directly motivated to action .Actually this is the case of pre mental
processing in which there is mental processing getting fixed prior to the
stimulus or motivator,as a result very small lapse is seen between stimulus
and action which makes us have false conclusion that there is no mental
processing at all.
In this way motivation process ends.
