Motivation

Motivation refers to the internal and external factors that stimulate the desire and energy in individuals to be continually interested and committed to a task, goal, or purpose. It is the psychological process that initiates, guides, and maintains goal-oriented behaviors. Motivation can arise from various sources, including intrinsic factors (personal satisfaction, interest, and personal goals) and extrinsic factors (rewards, recognition, and social pressures). Understanding motivation is essential in various fields, including psychology, education, and business, as it influences individual performance, persistence, and overall behavior. It plays a crucial role in determining how well individuals can pursue their goals and the extent to which they can overcome challenges and obstacles.
