6. Learning Objectives
Know the positive consequences of motivation
Know the differences between intrinsic and extrinsic
motivation
Learn about self-motivation: How can I best motivate myself?
8. What Does Motivation Mean?
Motivation describes the
pursuit of goals or
desirable objects for the
human being and it is
based on emotional and
neuronal activities.
Motivation triggers the
readiness to act and is
therefore a „driving
force“ for behavior
9. What Does Motivation Mean?
Do not worry, in
the following I
will explain
„motivation“
closer!
10. Motivation
…scientific studies show that…
Motivation and self-motivation are important key qualifications in
the job world
Motivation is the core aspect of a profitable workforce, for the
employee as well as for the employer
Motivated employees are more successful in most cases
Motivation at work is the driving force for the employees; leaving
the house every morning and getting to the work place
Fully motivated and engaged employees are rare
11. Motivation
According to research only 13% of all employees are engaged
and motivated at work
67% work according to instructions and rules
20% already quit their job internally and simply waste time in
the office (lack of motivation)
That does not have to be the case. Our tips for increased
motivation at work should help you to restart the system and
accelerate again!
12. Types of Motivation
Motivation can be created internally (interests, ambition,
pleasure in learning and working) = intrinsic motivation
Motivation can also be created externally (pressure, praise,
reward, money) = extrinsic motivation
13. Types of Motivation
Intrinsic Motivation
Internal stimulus
Interest based actions
Incentive lies in the resulting action object (e.g. a self-
made christmas present)
⇒Intrinsic based motivational actions are the prototype of
self-determining actions
14. Types of Motivation
Extrinsic Motivation
External stimulus
Behavior that is conducted through instrumental intention
Does not appear spontaneously, rather is triggered through a request
This behavior results in consequences
Activity ends as soon as the purpose is fulfilled
15. Motivation – Use Your Imagination
Our imagination is the perfect weapon
against loss of motivation and lack of
drive!
If you imagine your accelerating success
every day it will have a spill-over effect
on your motivation. Just try it for one
weeks by imagining yourself succeeding
every morning for about 5 minutes. Try
to use all your thoughts and imagination
to make it as real and lively as possible.
Your motivation during work will
increase tremendously within only a
view days!

32. Celebrate Yourself!!!
Many times we feel a lack of motivation when we don‘t
receive a lot of recognition and appreciation. You cannot
expect that people will applaud you whenever you accomplish
a certain task or challenge. In order to remain motivated you
have to acknowledge and value your own successes. Celebrate
yourself every now and then after accomplishing a big
obstacle. Self-praise is the answer! Let your partner know as
well. Enjoy the beauty of being „done“ with something. When
you finish certain tasks with that attitude in your mind you
will for sure have more fun next time you face a challenge of
this degree. Then, you will relate it to something positive and
good.
33. Bottom Line
For the pupose of self-motivation set daily, weekly, and monthly
events that trigger fun and pleasure within yourself
Attach guiding principles and values to each and every day
Exaggerating perfectionism can create too high expectations and
can lead to demotivation
Take small steps towards the large goal of task-completion, go step
by step and celebrate each of them when accomplished
Be excited about what you accomplished each and every day at
work
Only schedule the amount of meetings that you can go to and be
prepared for. Time-management is a big part of motivation. Don‘t
hesitate to say NO when too much is demanded...
