2. Motivation is the psychological feature that
arouses an organism to action toward a
desired goal and elicits, controls, and sustains
certain goal directed behaviors.
It can be considered a driving force; a
psychological drive that compels or
reinforces an action toward a desired goal.
For example, hunger is a motivation that
elicits a desire to eat.
3. Motivation can be divided into 2 types:
INTRINSIC MOTIVATION
EXTRINSIC MOTIVATION
4. Intrinsic motivation refers to motivation that
is driven by an interest or enjoyment in the
task itself, and exists within the individual
rather than relying on any external pressure.
Intrinsic motivation is based on taking
pleasure in an activity rather than working
towards an external reward.
5. Extrinsic motivation refers to the performance
of an activity in order to attain an outcome,
which then contradicts intrinsic motivation.
Extrinsic motivation comes from outside of the
individual. Common extrinsic motivations are
rewards like money and grades, and threat of
punishment. Competition is in general extrinsic
because it encourages the performer to win and
beat others, not simply to enjoy the intrinsic
rewards of the activity.
6. Maslow’s hierarchy of needs : Maslow's
hierarchy of needs is a theory
in psychology proposed by Abraham Maslow
in his 1943 paper "A Theory of Human
Motivation".
7.
8. Maslow's hierarchy of needs is often portrayed
in the shape of a pyramid with the largest, most
fundamental levels of needs at the bottom and
the need for self-actualization at the top.
Maslow's theory suggests that the most basic
level of needs must be met before the individual
will strongly desire (or focus motivation upon)
the secondary or higher level needs.
9. Physiological needs are the physical
requirements for human survival. If these
requirements are not met, the human body
cannot function properly, and will ultimately
fail.
Clothing and shelter provide necessary
protection , form the part of physiological
needs.
10. With their physical needs relatively satisfied,
the individual's safety needs take precedence
and dominate behavior.
Safety and Security needs include:
Personal security
Financial security
Health and well-being
Safety net against accidents/illness and
their adverse impacts.
11. After physiological and safety needs are fulfilled,
the third level of human needs is interpersonal
and involves feelings of belongingness.
According to Maslow, humans need to feel a
sense of belonging and acceptance among their
social groups, regardless if these groups are
large or small. For example, some large social
groups may include clubs, co-workers, religious
groups, professional organizations etc.
12. All humans have a need to feel respected; this
includes the need to have self-esteem and
self-respect.
Esteem presents the typical human desire to
be accepted and valued by others.
13. "What a man can be, he must be." This
quotation forms the basis of the perceived
need for self-actualization. This level of need
refers to what a person's full potential is and
the realization of that potential.
Maslow describes this level as the desire to
accomplish everything that one can, to
become the most that one can be.
