MOTIVATION
Motivation is the activation or energization
of goal-oriented behaviour. Motivation may
be intrinsic or extrinsic. The term is
generally used for humans but,
theoretically, it can also be used to describe
the causes for animal behaviour as well.
This article refers to human motivation.
According to various theories, motivation
may be rooted in the basic need to minimize
physical pain and maximize pleasure, or it
may include specific needs such as eating
and resting, or a desired object, hobby, goal,
state of being, ideal, or it may be attributed
to less-apparent reasons such as altruism,
morality, or avoiding mortality.
MOTIVATIONAL CONCEPT
Intrinsic motivation comes from rewards
inherent to a task or activity itself - the
enjoyment of a puzzle or the love of playing.
This form of motivation has been studied by
social and educational psychologists since
the early 1970s. Research has found that it
is usually associated with high educational
achievement and enjoyment by students.
Intrinsic motivation has been explained by
Fritz Heider's attribution theory, Bandura's
work on self-efficacy, and Ryan and Deci's
cognitive evaluation theory. Students are
likely to be intrinsically motivated if they:
Extrinsic motivation comes from outside
of the performer. Money is the most obvious
example, but coercion and threat of
punishment are also common extrinsic
motivations.
In sports, the crowd may cheer on the
performer, which may motivate him or her
to do well. Trophies are also extrinsic
incentives. Competition is in general
extrinsic because it encourages the
performer to win and beat others, not to
enjoy the intrinsic rewards of the activity.
Social psychological research has indicated
that extrinsic rewards can lead to over
justification and a subsequent reduction in
intrinsic motivation. In one study
demonstrating this effect, children who
expected to be (and were) rewarded with a
ribbon and a gold star for drawing pictures
spent less time playing with the drawing
materials in subsequent observations than
children who were assigned to an
unexpected reward condition and to children
who received no extrinsic reward.

Positivetools
· Praise- one of the oldest methods used
even today to motivate individuals.
Effectively used in training and helping
individual in learning new concepts.
· Salary / wages/ increments- all these are
fringe benefits used to motivate the
employee, but this being only a temporary
phase.
· Recognition- this is a very positive tool,
wherein the higher ups motivate the
employees by recognizing their work
potential, the employee feels highly
motivated when his work gets recognized,
rather than just giving him a big pay packet.
· New roles- when an employee is given
higher roles, they themselves act as
motivators rather than working for years on
the same routine job.
· Social atmosphere and working conditions-
also play a crucial role in motivating the
employee in his work. When the employee is
surrounded by equally motivated lot, he/she
is bounded to be motivated and vise versa.
· Needs-All of us have needs which are
varied and ranked by us differently, hence it
is important for the boss to have a clear cut
measuring method to know the varied
interests of their workforce.
NegativeTools:
· Punishment-When an employee is
punished for doing the wrong style of
working, the punishment itself can make
wonders in motivating the employee to do a
good job.
· Reinforcement-Whatever the work style, or
project the employee undertakes, it is
important that the employee knows whether
it is wrong or right. or what the amendments
he has to do, the knowledge of result is a
must, otherwise, the concept of motivation
doesn’t arise.
· Critical evaluation- this helps the employee
to improve his Motivational theories
The incentive theory of motivation:
A reward, tangible or intangible, is
presented after the occurrence of an action
(i.e. behaviour) with the intent to cause the
behaviour to occur again. This is done by
associating positive meaning to the
behavior. Studies show that if the person
receives the reward immediately, the effect
would be greater, and decreases as duration
lengthens. Repetitive action-reward
combination can cause the action to
become habit. Motivation comes from two
sources: oneself, and other people. These
two sources are called intrinsic motivation
and extrinsic motivation, respectively.
Applying proper motivational techniques can
be much harder than it seems. Steven Kerr
notes that when creating a reward system,
it can be easy to reward A, while hoping for
B, and in the process, reap harmful effects
that can jeopardize your goals.
A reinforcer is different from reward, in that
reinforcement is intended to create a
measured increase in the rate of a desirable
behaviour following the addition of
something to the environment.
Drive-reduction theories:
There are a number of drive theories. The
Drive Reduction Theory grows out of the
concept that we have certain biological
drives, such as hunger. As time passes the
strength of the drive increases if it is not
satisfied (in this case by eating). Upon
satisfying a drive the drive's strength is
reduced. The theory is based on diverse
ideas from the theories of Freud to the ideas
of feedback control systems, such as a
thermostat.
Drive theory has some intuitive or folk
validity. For instance when preparing food,
the drive model appears to be compatible
with sensations of rising hunger as the food
is prepared, and, after the food has been
consumed, a decrease in subjective hunger.
There are several problems, however, that
leave the validity of drive reduction open for
debate. The first problem is that it does not
explain how secondary rein forcers reduce
drive. For example, money satisfies no
biological or psychological needs, but a pay
check appears to reduce drive through
second-order conditioning. Secondly, a
drive, such as hunger, is viewed as having a
"desire" to eat, making the drive a
homunculus being - a feature criticized as
simply moving the fundamental problem
behind this "small man" and his desires.
In addition, it is clear that drive reduction
theory cannot be a complete theory of
behavior, or a hungry human could not
prepare a meal without eating the food
before they finished cooking it. The ability of
drive theory to cope with all kinds of
behavior, from not satisfying a drive (by
adding on other traits such as restraint), or
adding additional drives for "tasty" food,
which combine with drives for "food" in
order to explain cooking render it hard to
test.
Cognitive dissonance theory:
Suggested by Leon Festinger, this occurs
when an individual experiences some
degree of discomfort resulting from an
incompatibility between two cognitions. For
example, a consumer may seek to reassure
himself regarding a purchase, feeling, in
retrospect, that another decision may have
been preferable.
Another example of cognitive dissonance is
when a belief and a behavior are in conflict.
A person may wish to be healthy, believes
smoking is bad for one's health, and yet
continues to smoke.
Need theories
Need hierarchy theory
Abraham Maslow's theory is one of the most
widely discussed theories of motivation.
The theory can be summarized as follows:
• Human beings have wants and desires
which influence their behavior. Only
unsatisfied needs influence behavior,
satisfied needs do not.
• Since needs are many, they are
arranged in order of importance, from
the basic to the complex.
• The person advances to the next level of
needs only after the lower level need is
at least minimally satisfied.
• The further the progress up the
hierarchy, the more individuality,
humanness and psychological health a
person will show.
The needs, listed from basic (lowest-earliest)
to most complex (highest-latest) are as
follows:
• Physiology
• Safety
• Belongingness
• Self-esteem
• Self actualization
