Motivation Theories

Executive Summary

Motivation is the stimulus to make people motivated to perform any enthusiastic something. Each of us has what motivated to do what things. These are some theories, and, God willing, we discuss in the following article the other theories is the theory of expectation and goal-setting theory and the theory of justice. Also, discuss how to take advantage of these theories. Motivation theorists in general have assumed that intrinsic motivations such as achievement, responsibility and competence are independent of extrinsic motivators such as high wages, promotions, good relations with the supervisor and pleasant working conditions. This means that stimulation of intrinsic motivation extrinsic motivation would not affect or vice versa. The cognitive evaluation theory suggests otherwise.

Once these two needs met, then comes the social needs, the need for self-esteem and, finally, needs updating (King, 2010, 18).
