1.1 The Concept of Motivation
Motivation may be defined as psychological forces that determine the direction of a person’s behavior in an organization, a person’s level of effort and a person’s level of persistence in the face of obstacles. It may also be defined as the Internal and external factors that stimulate desire and energy in people to be continually interested and committed to a job, role or subject, or to make an effort to attain a goal. Motivation results from the interaction of both conscious and unconscious factors such as the intensity of desire or need, incentive or reward value of the goal, and expectations of the individual and of his or her peers. These factors are the reasons one has for behaving a certain way.
Motivation is so central to management because it explains why people behave the way they do in organizations.
Motivation can come from intrinsic or extrinsic sources. ➢ Intrinsically Motivated behavior:- is behavior that is performed for its own sake; the source of motivation is actually performing the behavior, and motivation comes from doing the work itself. We can say that intrinsic motivation refers to motivation that comes from inside an individual rather than from any external or outside rewards, such as money or grades. This motivation comes from the pleasure one gets from the task itself or from the sense of satisfaction in completing or even working on a task.
Many managers are intrinsically motivated; they derive a sense of accomplishment and achievement from helping their organization to achieve their goals and gain a competitive advantage. But intrinsic motivation does not mean, however, that a person will not seek rewards. It just means that such external rewards are not enough to keep a person motivated. ➢ Extrinsically motivated behavior:- is behavior that is performed to acquire material or social rewards or to avoid punishment; the source of motivation is the consequences
