David Myers defines motivation as a need or desire that energizes behavior and directs it towards a goal. Motivation prompts a person to act in specific ways or develop inclinations for certain behaviors. There are two types of motivation: intrinsic motivation that comes from within and extrinsic motivation that comes from outside rewards or threats. The document also lists several theories of motivation including push and pull theory, incentive theory, McGregor's Theory X and Y, McClelland's needs theory, Maslow's hierarchy of needs, and Herzberg's two-factor theory.
