What is MOTIVATION?
One of the most important factors that lead one to their goals is the drive.
This drive is known as motivation.
It is a zest and determination with a kind of excitement that leads one to persevere to reach greater heights, in no matter what avenue of their life; be it personal or professional.
The drive may come from an internal or external source. The individual determines this.
Types of Motivation
Motivation is the activation or the energization
of goal-oriented behaviour Motivation is classified according to Frederick Herzberg's two-factor theory The two factors are: Intrinsic Extrinsic
INTRINSIC MOTIVATION
Intrinsic motivation refers to motivation that is driven by an interest or enjoyment in the task itself It exists within the individual rather than relying on
EXTRINSIC MOTIVATION
Extrinsic motivation comes from outside of the
individual. Common extrinsic motivations are rewards Social psychological research has indicated that extrinsic rewards can lead to over justification
THEORIES OF MOTIVATION
There are many theories of motivation But Maslows Theory of need hierarchy is the
best way to understand the motivation at a workplace It explains motivation according to the needs of employees
MASLOWS THEORY
Maslow's hierarchy of needs is a theory in psychology,
proposed by Abraham Maslow Maslow subsequently extended the idea to include his observations of humans' innate curiosity. His theories parallel many other theories of human devlopmental psychology Maslow studied what he called exemplary people such as Albert Einstein, Jane Addams, Eleanor Roosevelt and Frederick Douglass
If motivation is driven by the existence of unsatisfied needs, then it is worthwhile for a manager to understand which needs are the more important for individual employees. In this hierarchical model, when a need is mostly satisfied , it no longer motivates and the next higher need takes its place.

STUDENT MOTIVATION
Student motivation naturally has to do with students' desire to participate in the learning process.
But it also concerns the reasons or goals that underlie
their involvement or noninvolvement in academic activities. Although students may be equally motivated to perform a task, the sources of their motivation may differ.
challenging, but achievable Make real-world connections. Help students see how skills they are learning can be applied to the real world. Recognize individual differences. Not every student will be motivated by the same thing. Give students individual feedback. Remind them that success often requires persistence and a willingness to overcome obstacles. Reward with care. Give prompt feedback and praise good work to help build students' self-confidence. Foster collaboration rather than competition among students. with classmates. Recognize developmental differences. Student engagement in school tends to decline as students get older
mini goals that go in many directions. Finish what you start. A half finished project is of no use to anyone. Quitting is a habit. Socialize with others of similar interest. Mutual support is motivating. Learn how to learn Man has the ability to learn without instructors.
Harmonize natural talent with interest that motivates. Natural talent creates motivation,
motivation creates persistence and persistence gets the job done Increase knowledge of subjects that inspires. The more we know about a subject, the more we want to learn about it Take risk. Failure and bouncing back are elements of motivation
MOTIVATION IS WHAT GETS YOU STARTED, HABIT IS WHAT KEEPS YOU GOING!
SELF- MOTIVATION
People who are unable to motivate themselves must be
content with mediocrity, no matter how impressive their other talents-Andrew Carnegie If you want to excel in life, self motivation is essential Thats the only way to get the power you need to overcome difficulties. Those who are discouraged in difficult times are certain to lose even before the battle is over. The question is: how do you motivate yourself?

CONCLUSION
By discussing types of motivation and also studying the
above case study, we can conclude that motivation is an inner drive and the fear of failure is ones biggest enemy Tell your heart that the fear of suffering is worse than the suffering itself. And that no heart has ever suffered when it goes in search of its dreams, because every second of the search is a second's encounter with God and with eternity Paulo Coelho
