· arousal
· energising
· direction
· sustenance
of behaviour.
It is because of the energy concept and the direction provided by motivation that there is such a large interest.
The motives of people explain the why of their behaviour; to understand the underlying reasons for behaviour, requires an understanding of an individual’s goals. Goals in turn will be created by needs; a simple model of motivation is as follows:
Needs -------------- Drive --------------- Goal
(Deprivation) (Energy) (Need Satisfaction)
The energy generated will depend on goal attractiveness, and is thus related to the state of deprivation. Needs will vary between individuals, and within individuals over time, and attempts at mass motivation often fail because this is not recognised.
The how to motivate question can be answered in terms of sensitivity to individual needs and constant monitoring of changes in goals. To put it another way, “One man’s meat is another’s poison”.
Essential Concepts of Motivation
Need = deprivation
Goal = need satisfaction/desired end
Strength = attractiveness of goal
Individually different = needs vary between people, and are also related to values, aspirations and expectations.
Extrinsic Vs Intrinsic motivation. Motivation can be caused externally to the person, that is, motivated by sheer goal desirability or internally in the sense that the person is motivated primarily by the interest of the task, rather than the attendant consequences. Intrinsic motivation is the characteristic of the self-starter and is a more powerful force, in that the individual is capable of generating personal energy without reference to a “charger”.
Much motivation is unconscious and cannot be explained. Evidence for unconscious motivation is provided by slips of tongue (Freudian slips), dreams, hypnosis, lapses of memory.
Motivation cannot be observed – we see the behaviour and infer the motivation. Thus the analysis of another person’s motivation is always subject to our own perceptual set.
Many motives may be present in one piece of behaviour, although they may not be of equal strength. To fully understand behaviour requires identification of all underlying motives e.g. a person seeking a rise in salary may be responding to needs to improve self-esteem, restore relativity to a reference figure, and to demonstrate activity rather than passivity.
Motives may be distinguished between primary (physiological) and secondary (learned). Examples of the former category are hunger, thirst, and the second, affiliation, achievement, power.
One of the major reasons for interest in motivation is the formula:
P(erformance) – S(kill) x M(otivation)
Motivation is an equilibrium process. The aim of need satisfaction is to restore the status quo.
Once a need is satisfied, it can no longer motivate. (Can a need for money be satisfied?)
The expression of human motives differs from culture to culture, and from person to person within a culture.
Similar motives may be manifested through unlike behaviour; unlike motives may be expressed through similar behaviours (e.g. range of motives in attending an orchestral concert).
One way of thinking about frustration is to see it as goal-blocked behaviour. The emotional states associated with frustration tend to be counter-productive. The Carrot at the end of the stick that keeps the Rabbit running towards it.

.:Fishie:. is the push of the mental forces to accomplish an action. Unsatisfied needs motivate. On the biological level basic human needs of food, shelter and survival are powerful motivators. On the psychological level people need to be understood, affirmed, validated and appreciated. On the business level motivation occurs when people perceive a clear business reason for pursuing a transfer of knowledge or practices.
