WHAT MOTIVATES PEOPLE TO MAKE CHANGE OR WORK TOWARDS AN ACHIEVEMENT.



“Of course motivation is not permanent. But then, neither is bathing; but it is something you should do on a regular basis.” ― Zig ZiglarRaising Positive Kids in a Negative World http://www.goodreads.com/work/quotes/793960
Motivation is defined as the process that initiates, guides, and maintains goal-oriented behaviours.


It is not easy to motivate people because every person had different things that motivates them. Money cannot be the motivator for everyone. Some people get motivated by appreciation. But their are some theories that are believed to be motivator agents for every person. These are:

  • Humanistic Theory of Motivation: Humanistic hypotheses of inspiration are in view of the thought that individuals additionally have solid cognitive motivations to perform different activities. This is broadly delineated in Abraham Maslow's order of requirements, which exhibits distinctive inspirations at diverse levels. To begin with, individuals are roused to satisfy fundamental natural requirements for nourishment and asylum, and those of security, love, and regard. When the lower level needs have been addressed, the essential spark turns into the requirement for culmination toward oneself, or the craving to satisfy one's individual potential. 

Here is a video that shows Maslow, Herzberg & Taylor's motivational theories.

This video explains the theories by Maslow, Herzberg & taylor. It lists many factors that leads to motivation. :)

In a nutshell, different people get motivated by different factors. You never know what can help in motivating a person. These individual theories can offer a greater understanding of the forces that cause us to take action. In reality, there are likely many different forces that interact to motivate behaviour.
