Just What Specifically Is Motivation?

Article Category: Advice

Author Name: Ericka Todd

What exactly is motivation? Everyone does not always define motivation the exact same way.

Some people describe motivation as a mental force that drives a person to complete an end like completing a project or saving for retirement.

Some people say that motivation is why some people do one thing and others do something completely different. Motivation is often discussed in regards to establishing and achieving goals and also what determines the conduct of a human being.

Motivation is sometimes defined in regards to perceptions that push a person to achieve a specific aspiration.

Often motivation is believed to be the cause that a person decides to do something specifically, regardless if it be applying for a certain job or taking a chance by asking someone out on a date.

In the scope of psychology, motivation is closely connected to habits in terms of the initiation as well as direction, intensity and persistence of it.

Motivation concerns having the interest in doing something and then having the desire and ability to see it through to completion.

Motivation however is not the same as emotion or personality. Motivation is instead a dynamic and temporal frame of mind.

A person who is motivated can be motivated to accomplish a long-term goal or a short-term goal and both have worth.

At times a motivated individual will separate a long-term goal down into a number of smaller short-term goals so as to make the end result easier to reach for and attain.

The motivation to work towards any given goal can change and often times circumstances make it necessary for a person to modify their level of motivation.

An individual's personality on the other hand is basically a permanent component of the characteristics of the person that does not change.

Aspects of a person's personality include such things as whether the person is introverted or extroverted, modest, conscientious, shy, loud and so forth.

Emotions are temporary states that a person finds themselves in so as to cope with immediate circumstances, such as feeling sad, happy, frustrated, confused, anger and being in a state of grief.

Emotion does not automatically correlate with behavior whereas motivation does.

Motivation is often broken down into two categories, that of intrinsic motivation and extrinsic motivation.

Intrinsic motivation occurs when the desire to do something stems from within a person and there is no obvious external incentive for it to occur.

Engaging in a hobby for pure satisfaction such as painting, making toy models, stamp collecting, scrap booking etc. are examples of intrinsic motivation. A large amount of research studies have been conducted on intrinsic motivation since the 1970s.

Extrinsic motivation is when there is an external factor present that serves as an incentive for behavior.

This is commonly viewed in workplaces where employees are motivated by their superiors by being offered tangible rewards for instance extra money or a promotion.

There are also intangible rewards which are things such as being praised for a job well done or receiving public acknowledgement for your efforts. Many people respond well to both tangible as well as intangible extrinsic motivation.
