behavior. People are motivated when

to lead to the attainment of a goal and a
valued reward – one that satisfies their
needs and wants.

7. Define Motivation. Explain its types.
• Self-motivation is, in its simplest form, the
force that drives you to do things.
The ability to motivate yourself—self-
motivation—is an important skill. Self-
motivation drives people to keep going even

opportunities, and to show commitment to
what they want to achieve.

9. Positive and negative motivation
• Positive motivation: This type of
motivation develops a positive and
cheerful climate in the organisation.
• Positive motivation helps in recognizing
the employees / Students capabilities and
aids at fulfilling those capabilities.
• Negative Motivation: The needed goals
can also be achieved by developing fear
in the people. People are afraid of
consequences of doing or not doing
particular things.

10. Rational and Emotional
Motivation
• Rational individual is one who analysis the
benefits and drawbacks of all the available
options, before selecting the best possible
one.
• Emotional Motivation: are those goals
which are chosen by considering the
individual emotions only. This means
personal criteria like fear, pride, status ,
esteem etc. influences goal selection.

12. Intrinsic motivation
• Intrinsic motivation can arise from self-
generated factors that influence people’s
behaviour. It is not created by external
incentives.
• It can take the form of motivation by the work
itself when individuals feel that their work is
important, interesting and challenging and
provides them with a reasonable degree of
autonomy (freedom to act), opportunities to
achieve and advance, and scope to use and
develop their skills and abilities.

13. Extrinsic motivation
• Extrinsic motivation occurs when things
are done to or for people to motivate them.
• These include rewards, such as
incentives, increased pay, praise, or
promotion; and punishments, such as
disciplinary action, withholding pay, or
criticism. Extrinsic motivators can have an
immediate and powerful effect, but will not
necessarily last long.

14. Types of Motivators: Intrinsic and Extrinsic Motivators
• In thinking about self-motivation, it is helpful to understand what motivates
you to do things.
•
There are two main types of motivators: ‘intrinsic’ and ‘extrinsic’.
• In their simplest form you can think about these two types of motivation as:
• Intrinsic = related to what we want to do.
• Extrinsic = related to what we have to do.
• A more detailed definition is:
• Intrinsic: To perform an action or task based on the expected or perceived satisfaction of
performing the action or task. Intrinsic motivators include having fun, being interested and
personal challenge.
• Extrinsic: To perform an action or task in order to attain some sort of external reward,
including money, power and good marks or grades.
• Different people are motivated by different things and at different times in their lives. The
same task may have more intrinsic motivators at certain times and more extrinsic motivators
at others, and most tasks have a combination of the two types of motivation.

15. What is difference between
motivation and Inspiration
• Motivation is like the wood you throw on a fire to keep it going.
• Inspiration is the fire itself.
• To push through the resistance to taking directed action, inspiration
and motivation are BOTH necessary.
• Motivation has 0 value without inspiration.
• Inspiration requires motivation to get started, and to be re-ignited
when we’ve lost touch with it.
• Motivation is a desire or willingness to take an action.
• Motivation is about psyching yourself up to do something.
• Motivation is fleeting; it comes and goes.
• It generally comes from the outside - external forces that cause us to
feel like doing something, or not feel like doing something.
• Motivation makes us ‘feel’ good when its there; it makes us ‘feel’ bad
when its missing.
• Inspiration is related to the very reason for taking action.

16. Inspiration
• Inspiration is related to the very reason
for taking action.
• Inspiration is about the reason you CARE
to do something.
• Inspiration is permanent.
• Inspiration comes from the inside. It gets
to the core of what drives you.
• Inspiration doesn’t alternate between
making us feel one way or another; its
consistent.

17. The difference is important.
• As good as it feels to be motivated to do something you know you want to
do, motivation can really mess with our ability to take action. Because it
teaches us to act only when we’re really FEELING like it. The truth is that
motivation comes and goes, QUICKLY. Often, as soon as we start
something we were really motivated to get done, that ‘high’ we started with
disappears and we end up confused.
• The most successful people on the planet understand ONE really important
thing:
• That to be GREAT, you have to continue taking action, long after the mood
that got you started has left.
• Inspiration isn’t fleeting, and isn’t based on feeling one way or another. Our
inspiration for action is the vey reason we’re doing it in the first place - what
are we trying to accomplish and why?
• Used effectively and remembered in the right moments, inspiration is what
helps us push through our boundaries of laziness and excuse making to
keep working towards our goal.
• Hell, its the reason we have a goal in the first place.

or things”.

have something to live for.”

• “The greater danger for most of us isn’t that our aim is too
high and we miss it, but that it is too low and we reach it”.

26. Explain self-motivation
techniques
• 1. Get out of your usual comfort zone
• Don’t be afraid to make mistakes. Wisdom
helps us avoid making mistakes and
comes from making a million of them”,
said Mike Moore, an international
motivational speaker and writer. Great
things usually happen outside of our
comfort zones and this is a skill you
definitely need to master on your way to
self-confidence.

27. 2. Finish what you start
• This is a problem for many people; they
are quick to work on something new or
take up a challenge, but when it comes to
pulling through, they simply don’t. Make an
effort to finish off what you have started –
this is a great way to accomplish your
goals and improve your self-esteem.

28. 3. Educate yourself
• Read motivational books, follow industry
leaders, or watch video clips of famous
speakers doing it right. An informed
person will always make better choices
and seize opportunities where they
present themselves.

29. 4. Believe that you can do it
• Many therapists will agree that this is
probably the first step in gaining self-
confidence. Think about it; if you don’t
believe in something, how can you
accomplish it? Don’t get held back on this
stumbling block – know that you have the
ability to accomplish your goals.

30. 5. Never give up when you are
frustrated
• Keep going and focus on your end goal. Moving
forward is the only way you will ever reach your
potential; there is no success in failure. Visualizing
what you want to accomplish is a common technique
that many motivational speakers will encourage; it
helps you to stay focused and constantly remind you
why you are doing something. Your mind will
associate pain and pleasure with success and failure;
so it will help you to visualize all the rewarding aspects
that come with success, while reminding you of all the
negatives in failing a task or goal.
• All of these aspects can significantly contribute to self-
motivation, but remember the basic rule: you have to
want it.

Edison, who invented the light bulb, said, “I have not failed
but found 10,000 other ways that don’t work”. Our greatest
fear makes us give up. But self-motivation helps in trying to
do one more time.
• Motivation teaches you to compete with you
ownself
In the words of Mikhail Baryshnikov, “I don’t try to dance
better than others, but only try to dance better than my
previous steps”. The only opponent you’ve is yourself. So,
self-motivation helps in comparing yourself and makes you
perform better than the last time.
