HERE ARE SOME TYPES OF MOTIVATION:

ACHIEVEMENT
This is the motivation of a person to attain goals. The longing for achievement is inherent in every man, but not all persons look to achievement as their motivation. They are motivated by a goal. In order to attain that goal, they are willing to go as far as possible. The complexity of the goal is determined by a person's perception. To us, the terms "simple" and "complex" are purely relative. What one person thinks is an easy goal to accomplish may seem to be impossible to another person. However, if your motivation is achievement, you will find that your goals will

money
Money covers almost every area of Human Life and hence heads the list of motivators. Food , Shelter , Clothing , Education , Health Care ..all require money and therefore money is an important motivator throughout our lives. However, once a person has enough money, other motivators take over.

Socialization
Some people consider socialization to be their main motivation for actions. This is especially evident in the situation of peer pressure. Some people are willing to do anything to be treated as an equal within a group structure. The idea of being accepted among a group of people is their motivation for doing certain things.

Incentive motivation
This motivation involves rewards. People who believe that they will receive rewards for doing something are motivated to do everything they can to reach a certain goal. While achievement motivation is focused on the goal itself, incentive motivation is driven by the fact that the goal will give people benefits. Incentive motivation is used in companies through bonuses and other types of compensation for additional work .

Fear motivation
when incentives do not work, people often turn to fear and punishment as the next tools. Fear motivation involves pointing out various consequences if someone does not follow a set of prescribed behavior. This is often seen in companies as working hand-in-hand with incentive motivation. Workers are often faced with a reward and punishment system, wherein they are given incentives if they accomplish a certain goal, but they are given punishments when they disobey certain policies .

Motivating others Motivating others is a fine tune skill , which calls for the several inner traits studied earlier. Such as Empathy, Personality Types, Conditioning, Perception, Knowledge, Positive Attitude,.

Wisdom dictates that other people will normally be motivated by their own interests, which may not be your interest at all. For example- Mr.X may be motivated by money while Mr.y may be motivated by recognition while you are motivated by accomplishment.

IMMITATION
Is a very powerful motivator because many people want what other people have got and while wanting to be LIKE THEM they imitate their way towards achieving goals

FEAR Fear of failure or of looking bad in front of others can also motivate people to achieve results. PLEASURE To enjoy doing something, is a reward in itself. Most people work to be able to get pleasure from their earnings.

A WINNER NEVER QUIT AND A QUITTER NEVER WINS. "The desire to do something is the proof of our potential to do it." Eric Butterworth, contemporary writer, author of several self-help books. Motivation is not only important because it is a necessary causal factor of learning, but because it mediates learning and is a consequence of learning as well. R. J. Wlodkowski, Enhancing adult motivation to learn, 1985. San Francisco: Jossey-Bass, p. 4. Many instructors consider the motivation level of learners the most important factor in successful instruction. W. Dick & L. Carey, The systematic design of instruction , 4th ed., 1996. New York: Longman, p. 92. "I make art in order to give other people my problems."

Once you are self-motivated, only then you can motivate others to achieve their goals and to harmonize their personal goals with the common goals of the organization.
