Motivation

Where does motivation come from? How do you get motivated to work or to do what ever?

I am doing a project in my psychology class and I have to figure out where motivation comes from. I have to figure out where motivation comes from in the work place. Does one get motivated by pay increases etc, or does motivmotivation come from other factors such as personal goals that one has set for ones self. What motivates you?

Please let me know what you think and why.

Well there are two types of motivation, extrinsic motivation, and intrinsic motivation. Extrinsic motivation is motivation that comes from outside an individual. Examples of that at work would be earning a paycheck, or getting a promotion. Intrinsic motivation is motivation that comes from inside an individual. Examples of that would be like self satisfaction at work, knowing that you can do good work, and you have the desire to do good work. I am motivated by both intrinsic and extrinsic motivation. At school i do good because i know if i do i will get a good job and be able to afford nice things in life. Also i do it because i like looking smart and having the ability to answer questions and help people do good in school.

He examines four major motive systems: achievement, power, affiliation, and avoidance, reviewing and evaluating the large body of research on how these motive systems affect behavior. Scientific understanding of motives and their interaction, he argues, contributes to understanding of such diverse and important phenomena as the rise and fall of civilizations, the underlying causes of war, the rate of economic development, the nature of leadership, the reasons for authoritarian or democratic governing styles, the determinants of success in management, and the factors responsible for health and illness.
