this condition is met by addressing some individual desires. Essentially, motivation refers to
fulfilling major organizational goals through meeting the needs of individual employees. Work
motivation can be viewed as a group of intrinsic and extrinsic elements that initiate and know the
specifically related to the professional situation, and it covers the impact on work behaviour of
both ambient forces and those intrinsic in the individual. Motivation theory is the study of what
inspires an employee to perform toward a specific goal or end (Robbins & Judge, 2017). It is
profitable. Actually, research have also shown that pleasant, ensures that employees can improve
toward motivating the staff and increasing productivity. Although there are many typical ways
for firms to reward their workers (Staff lunches, Friday beers, etc.), a rewards plan is not a one-
size-fits-all approach. Instead, consider what works for the team, and create them accessible and
theory, Expectancy Theory, and Incentive Theory. The Incentive Theory is the most realistic in
characterizing human behaviour. According to the incentive theory, individuals are inspired to
perform things because of external incentives. For instance, you may be driven to work every
day because you will be paid. Behavioral learning concepts including such attachment and
reinforcement are central to this view of motivation. In some aspects, this approach is similar to
teach behaviours. Punishment makes a behaviour weaker, whereas reinforcing makes it stronger.
Although incentive theory is comparable, it posits that people voluntarily engage in specific
behaviours to receive benefits. The stronger the desire to chase those reinforcement, the greater
perceived rewards. Rewards can come from a person's exterior (extrinsic) or inside (intrinsic).
The incentive theory believes that humans are motivated by external circumstances through
positive relationships. For instance, Kevin turns on the air conditioning system even though he is
shivering from the cold because the girl sitting next to him is hot, and Kevin wants to impress
There is also no proof (based on student questionnaires) that program incentives reduced
intrinsic drive to learn in school. Although typical economic models predict that incentives
would improve individual study effort, a psychological theory contends that external motivators
may conflict with internal motivation and probably lower hard work. A weaker variant of this
concept holds that incentives improve performance in the short run and have negative long-term
effects by diminishing intrinsic drive. Still, we find no mention of this when evaluating test
results in the years following the scholarships competition (Wu, 2012). Furthermore, there are no
