 TYPES OF MOTIVATION
BIOLOGICAL MOTIVES
• Focus on the innate, biological
causes of motivation like
hormones, neurotransmitters,
brain structures (hypothalamus,
limbic system, etc.).
• For example, hunger, thirst
and sex motives.
PSYCHOSOCIAL MOTIVES
• Focus on psychological and social
(as well as environmental) factors
and how they interact with each
other to produce motivation.
• For example, need for
achievement, affiliation, power,
curiosity and exploration, and self-
actualization motives.
 Intensity of desire

Reasons of Reward value of the

Motivation goal

Expectations of
individual
 Circular movement of a individual to achieve his
or her desire or goa that is called a motivation
cycle.
When a goal is achieved, the individual rarely
What is stops there. Often, the accomplished goal leads
to other drives. A person never gets contented.
motivational One goal leads to other motives or drives.
Phases of the motivation cycle are:-
cycle? a. Need
b. Drive
c. Incentive
d. Reward
 THE MOTIVATIONAL CYCLE

Need

Reduction of arousal Drive

Arousal
Achievement

Goal directed behaviour

THE NEEDS
A need is an arouse to act towards a goal, giving
purpose and direction to behaviour.
It’s a product of physical and physiology
deprivation in the body
Its what which is lack in our body or in life.
Types:-
a. Physiological
Those basic physical needs
Example- Hunger, oxygen
b. Psychological
Those individual happiness and wellbeing
Example- love, power
THE DRIVE
 • The object of the environment that activates, directs, and
maintains behavior is called incentive. It can be anything as
long as it has either positive or negative value in motivating
behavior.
• It motivates or encourage someone to do something
THE AROUSAL • Next, appropriate object and situation towards goal in cycle
/ INCENTIVE • Eases need and reduces drive
• Incentive can be positive and negative
• Example:- for hunger food is a incentive
• Making food is positive
• Chocolate is negative
GOAL DIRECTED
BEHAVIOUR
• The reduction of tension in the body can
be considered as the goal of any
motivated behavior.
• goal is a desired result a person or a system
envisions, plans and commits to achieve a
personal or organizational desired end-point
in some sort of assumed development.
• he example of a hungry man. A hungry
man eats food, and his body restores to
a balanced condition. This then reduces
the tension. This reduction of tension as
a result of an energized activity is called
goal. Once the goal has been completed,
the organism is again ready for another
goal-motivated behavior.
 Achievement
State of achievement of the incentive
Feel of pleasure, satisfaction gives rewards to self
Restore homeostatic condition
Types:
a. Fully achieved
Feeling inspired
Example:- cook food and eat
b. Partial achieved
Not fully satisfied, may be requirement to restart a cycle
Example:- eating chocolate when you are hungry
 REDUCTION OF
AROUSAL
• Upon satisfying a drive, the drive’s strength is
reduced
• The satisfaction provides temporary halt to
his behavioral activities due to reeducation of
arousal.
• Once when there is achievement made, then
naturally it leads to reduction of arousal.
• any stimulus or inhibitory reaction that
decreases the degree of arousal of an
individual after it has reached an
uncomfortably high level.
• Then again there will be need that person
face and this circle continue again through
need.
 Conclusion

• Individual should be motivated

• If someone’s one need is fulfilled, another will
be line up
• If ones need not fulfilled, it again restart until
the goal is achieved
• Person is dominated by his motivation
