Motivation

Motivation refers to the internal and external factors that stimulate the desire and energy in individuals to be continually interested and committed to a task, role, idea, or goal. It is the driving force behind actions and behaviors that lead to achieving objectives. Motivation can be intrinsic, arising from personal satisfaction or the fulfillment of one’s own goals, or extrinsic, driven by external rewards such as money, recognition, or social acceptance. The study of motivation encompasses various theories that explain how different needs (such as physiological, psychological, and social) influence an individual’s urge to act. Understanding motivation is crucial in fields such as psychology, education, and business, as it can significantly impact performance, productivity, and overall well-being.
