9. Technically Motivation is… An internal state or condition that activates behaviour and gives it direction Desire or want that energizes and directs goal oriented behaviour Influence of needs and desires on the intensity of behaviour
10. Motivation decoded One of the better definitions of motivation is: The processes that account for an individual’s intensity, direction and persistence of effort toward attaining a goal
Intensity – How hard the person tries. High intensity is unlikely to lead to favourable job-performance unless the effort is channelled in a direction that benefits the organisation. Therefore, we have to consider the quality of effort as well as its intensity.Persistence- how long a person can maintain effort. Motivated individuals stay with a task long enough to achieve thieir goal.
