1. The document discusses various sources and theories of motivation, including biological, cognitive, social, and environmental factors that direct human behavior.
2. Motivation is described as a driving force that alerts the mind to change, pushes people to pursue change, and pulls them toward achieving goals. It requires both the capability and knowledge to take action.
3. Theories of motivation discussed include incentive-based theories where behavior responds to external rewards, as well as theories related to innate needs, goals, feedback, and intrinsic enjoyment of tasks. A variety of intrinsic and extrinsic factors influence human motivation in complex ways.
5 Theories About Motivation: Why We Do What We DoChelsea O'Brien
Motivation is the force that initiates, guides, and maintains goal-oriented behaviors. It is what causes us to take action, whether to grab a snack to reduce hunger or enroll in college to earn a degree. The forces that lie beneath motivation can be biological, social, emotional, or cognitive in nature. In this presentation, we cover what motivation is as well as 5 theories of motivation.
While no single theory can adequately explain all human motivation, looking at the individual theories can offer a greater understanding of the forces that cause us to take action. In reality, there are likely many different forces that interact to motivate behavior.

Mindfulness Research in Social Work:
Conceptual and Methodological
Recommendations
Eric L. Garland
Mindfulness refers to a set of practices as well as the psychological state and trait produced
by such practices. The state, trait, and practice of mindfulness may be broadly characterized
by a present-oriented, nonjudgmental awareness of cognitions, emotions, sensations, and
perceptions without fixation on thoughts of past or future. Research on mindfulness has
proliferated over the past decade. Given the explosion of scientific interest in this topic,
mindfulness-based therapies are attracting the attention of clinical social workers, who seek
to implement these interventions in numerous practice settings. Concomitantly, research on
mindfulness is now falling within the scope and purview of social work scholars. In response
to the growing interest in mindfulness within academic social work, the present article
outlines six conceptual and methodological recommendations for the conduct of future
empirical studies on mindfulness. These recommendations have practical importance for
advancing mindfulness research within and beyond social work.
KEY WORDS: evidence-based practice; meditation; mindfulness; randomized controlled trial; research methods
Mindfulness is linked with a set of cross-cultural principles and practices origi-nating in Asia more than 2,500 years
ago that have parallel manifestations in numerous
cultures around the world. With regard to its cur-
rent academic usage, mindfulness refers to a psycho-
logical phenomenon that is now being studied for
its relevance to mental and physical health in fields
such as medicine, psychology, and neuroscience.
Across these fields, there is a growing body of litera-
ture that attests to the efficacy of mindfulness-based
therapies for a wide range of biobehavioral disorders.
According to a search of PubMed and CRISP data-
bases conducted on October 4, 2009, there were
1,614 peer-reviewed journal articles on mindfulness
published in the scientific literature and 320 research
grants on mindfulness funded by the National Insti-
tutes of Health between 1998 and 2009. Indeed,
there is mounting empirical evidence of the role of
mindfulness in reducing stress and improving clinical
outcomes across diverse conditions such as depres-
sion (Teasdale et al., 2002), relations ...
Leadership is "organizing a group of people to achieve a common goal." The leader may or may not have any formal authority. Students of leadership have produced theories involving traits, situational interaction, function, behavior, power, vision and values, charisma, and intelligence among others.
Self-Determination Theory and the Facilitation of Intrinsic .docxbagotjesusa
Self-Determination Theory and the
Facilitation of Intrinsic Motivation,
Social Development, and Well-Being
Richard M. Ryan and Edward L. Deci
University o f Rochester
Human beings can be proactive and engaged or, alterna-
tively, passive and alienated, largely as a function o f the
social conditions in which they develop and function. Ac-
cordingly, research guided by self-determination t h e o ~
has focused on the social-contextual conditions that facil-
itate versus forestall the natural processes of self-motiva-
tion and healthy psychological development. Specifically,
factors have been examined that enhance versus undermine
intrinsic motivation, self-regulation, and well-being. The
findings have led to the postulate of three innate psycho-
logical needs--competence, autonomy, and relatedness--
which when satisfied yield enhanced self-motivation and
mental health and when thwarted lead to diminished mo-
tivation and well-being. Also considered is the significance
of these psychological needs and processes within domains
such as health care, education, work, sport, religion, and
psychotherapy.
T he fullest representations o f humanity show people to be curious, vital, and self-motivated. At their best, they are agentic and inspired, striving to learn; ex-
tend themselves; master new skills; and apply their talents
responsibly. That most people show considerable effort,
agency, and commitment in their lives appears, in fact, to
be more normative than exceptional, suggesting some very
positive and persistent features o f human nature.
Yet, it is also clear that the human spirit can be
diminished or crushed and that individuals sometimes re-
ject growth and responsibility. Regardless of social strata
or cultural origin, examples o f both children and adults
who are apathetic, alienated, and irresponsible are abun-
dant. Such non-optimal human functioning can be observed
not only in our psychological clinics but also among the
millions who, for hours a day, sit passively before their
televisions, stare blankly from the back o f their classrooms,
or wait listlessly for the weekend as they go about their
jobs. The persistent, proactive, and positive tendencies o f
human nature are clearly not invariantly apparent.
The fact that human nature, phenotypically expressed,
can be either active or passive, constructive or indolent,
suggests more than mere dispositional differences and is a
function of more than just biological endowments. It also
bespeaks a wide range of reactions to social environments
that is worthy o f our most intense scientific investigation.
Specifically, social contexts catalyze both within- and be-
tween-person differences in motivation and personal
growth, resulting in people being more self-motivated,
energized, and integrated in some situations, domains, and
cultures than in others. Research on the conditions that
foster versus undermine positive human potenti.
This is a literature review on Theories of motivation, and will focus on defining what motivation is, benefits of motivation, factors affect motivation, and motivation and employee performance in the organization.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

2. 2
Sources of Motivation
A central theme in psychology is the study of motivation. Factors that direct and energize
behavior of humans include biological, cognitive (psychological), and social aspects
(environmental). As an illustration, comparing motivation as a journey explains that motives are
physiological and psychological needs, whereas the external objects are incentives and goals
(Deckers, 2010). In addition, motivation is a driving force that alerts the mind to change, pushes
and creates the pursuit toward change, and pulls the individual toward the end-stage result
(Deckers, 2010). Consequently, you not only need to think you can, you need the capability and
knowledge to 'move into action' causing changes in behavior. According to Deckers (2010), “The
meaning of motivation is to be moved into cognition, feeling, and action," (p. 2).
Depending on what people want to achieve and how strongly people want to attain the final
achievement, motivation refers to the driving force behind behavior that leads to pursing the
achievement and cause others avoidance (Deckers, 2010). Incentive approaches are theories of
motivation in which behavior is a response to external stimulus and its rewarding properties
(Hardy & Carlo, 2005).
Direction and arousal toward goal-oriented behavior are factors within a human or animal.
Charles Darwin attributed the extent of animal and human behavior to instinct (biologically
determined innate), patterns of behavior. For example, when our safety if threatened we are
programmed to „fight or flight‟ and when we are hungry we are motivated to get food. Darwin
emphasizes the innate programmed genetic behaviors responsible for primal energy sources
(Huitt, 2012). Concurrently, a need (food) is a requirement for survival, whereas gourmet food is
a want. Both are very different, however; both can be motivating depending on intrinsic or
extrinsic motivation.
3. 3
Emotions are a universal functional reaction to external stimulus causing the shaping of
responses to a current situation. The push to fulfill the need is a psychological tension and
physical arousal that motivates the action to reduce the tension. The drive‟s strength is dependent
on the strength of the need. In addition, homeostasis is the physiological tendency of the body to
maintain this steady state of „comfortable tension.‟
Subsequently, moved to motivate requires energy that powers the muscles and strengthens the
neural connections within the brain known as cathexis (Deckers, 2010). Known as adaption
energy (Hans Selye, 1976), cathesix is a pleasurable motivator for behavior (as cited Deckers,
2010, p. 54). The amount of adaptive energy is relative to the amount of mental energy produced
when processing information from the environment. The physical component, glucose, feeds the
brain, which possibly creates new brain cells while enhancing the existing. As an illustration, “In
the case of older rats, when their supply of glucose runs low, their memory for the maze becomes
impaired (McNay et al., 2000; McNay & Gold, 2002; McNay et al., 2006)” (as cited in Deckers,
2010, p. 74).
The goal or situation determines what the animal or human does. Motivation and behavior
do not happen spontaneously. Theories of motivation in which behavior is explained as a
response to the external stimulus and rewarding properties, uses incentives as a way to get you to
do something (Decker, 2010). Action and behavior do not happen at the same time. In theory, we
must be induced by internal motives or environmental influences to 'move into action'. Motives
are internal dispositions that push us to the end whereas environmental influences are the
incentives and goals that pull the individual to the end-state (Deckers, 2010). The goal of the
motive is the incentive. Incentives are things that attract or lure people into actions, and are great
motivators.
4. 4
Self-determination is the theory of human motivation that allows the effect of the social
context or environment to influence the motivation (Hardy & Carlo, 2005). Three inborn and
universal needs necessary for an individual to gain a complete essence of self include autonomy
(need for control of one‟s behavior), competence (master the challenging tasks in life), and
relatedness (sense of belonging, intimacy, and security) (Huitt, 2012). In contrast, cognitive
knowledge includes the knowledge and competence necessary for an individual to fulfill the
desired behavior. Depending on a person‟s biological attributes and psychological dispositions
determines the outcome of the individuals motivating factors (Deckers, 2010). For example, a
psychological variable may include a need for belongingness, friendly social interactions, and
relationships with others. The mind versus the brain is explained if the mind determines how
much a person wants to study as compared to the brain‟s ability to function with the necessary
need for clarity to optimal learning (Deckers, 2010).
Based on operant conditioning, motivation focuses on drive reduction, depriving basic need
causes tension, and appropriate actions reduce tension. Drive-reduction involves meeting a
current need like hungry - find food or thirsty-find water. In contrast, behavior may be stimulated
by activities that drive tension rather than reduce it (Hardy & Carlo, 2006). Concurrently, goalsetting theory defines specific goals, gets continuing feedback about the progress toward the
goals, believes the goal is possible, and sets a high enough goal to remain motivated. A high
commitment to the goal is mandatory. Intrinsic motivation suggests when we do something for
the sheer enjoyment; we receive from doing it the reward in the process (Huitt, 2012).
Today‟s theory of human motivation draws on biological, psychological, and social processes
that focus on various issues. The intrinsic unpredictability of the world that people experience,
the innate differences in the attributes of individuals, and the aesthetic pleasure obtained from
5. 5
one‟s environment creates an understanding of why the theoretical issues exist to understanding
human motivation.
