INTRODUCTION What is Motivation ?

 The word “ Motivation” is derived from the word “Motive” which means “induce to act.”

 The definition of Motivation is to give reason, incentive, enthusiasm, or interest that causes a specific action or certain behavior.

 Motivation is present in every life function. Simple acts such as eating are motivated by hunger. Education is motivated by desire for knowledge. Doing work or job is motivated by the need of earning money.

INTRODUCTION  Motivation is simply:  The reason for an action  That which gives purpose and direction to behaviour.  Motivation is “WHAT drives you” to behave in a certain way or to take a particular action. It is your WHY.

INTRODUCTION  Your WHY is the strong reason for you to desire something. It is not what you desire, but the strong reason you desire it.

 Your WHY has to look beyond the physical. It has to be from

deep within. That way when the going gets tough, your WHY will see you through it because it is a strong, burning reason. It is a reason that will stand strong in the face of opposition.

If YOUR “WHY” IS BIG ENOUGH, THE HOW DOESN’T MATTER

 If your reason for wanting something is strong enough, even if at the time you don’t know how to achieve it, pursue it. It has often been said that when you desire something strongly enough the whole universe conspires to bring about the circumstances, people and resources you will need to achieve that purpose.

If YOUR “WHY” IS BIG ENOUGH, THE HOW DOESN’T MATTER  The Biggest example is the Achievement of Pakistan.

 The people of Pakistan against all odds

achieved independence from Britain under the Dynamic leadership of Quaide-Azam Mohammad Ali Jinnah.

 There were so many factors to de--

motivate and frustrate them in their struggle but their

WHY was big enough.

KINDS OF MOTIVATION  There are three main kinds of Motivation: Intrinsic , Extrinsic and Reward motivation.

 Intrinsic motivation is internal. It is under your control. It occurs when people are compelled to do something out of pleasure, importance, or desire. For e.g. Achievement, advancement, recognition, growth, responsibility, and job nature are internal motivators.

 Extrinsic motivation occurs when external factors compel the person to do

something. It is under the control of others.For e.g. Salary, benefits, working conditions, supervision, safety, security, affiliation, and relationships are all externally motivated needs.

KINDS OF MOTIVATION

Reward motivation occurs when the prospect

or hope of getting a reward compels people to do something.

For example: "I will give you a candy bar if you clean your room." This is an example of reward motivation.

WHAT IS DE - MOTIVATION ?  It is the opposite of Motivation.  It is infact lack of motivation or having negative motivation.  In this state of mind a person starts to get pessimistic and frustrated about affairs.  If some one says , “ I can’t do this work or I can’t accomplish my goals ” without even attempting it, This means that he / she is completely de-motivated and frustrated about the task.
