Define Motivation?
Answers were Sorted based on User's Feedback
Answer / manish
In psychology, motivation refers to the initiation,
direction, intensity and persistence of behavior (Geen,
1995). Motivation is a temporal and dynamic state that
should not be confused with personality or emotion.
Motivation is having the encouragement to do something. A
motivated person can be reaching for a long-term goal such
as becoming a professional writer or a more short-term goal
like learning how to spell a particular word. Personality
invariably refers to more or less permanent characteristics
of an individual's state of being (e.g., shy, extrovert,
conscientious). As opposed to motivation, emotion refers to
temporal states that do not immediately link to behavior
(e.g., anger, grief, happiness).

Answer / angana c.
Motivation can be defined in a number of ways. Generally,
it is defined as a driving force that initiates and
directs behavior. In other words, motivation is a kind of
internal energy which drives a person to do something in
order to achieve something. It is a temporal or dynamic
state within a person which is not concerned with his/her
personality.
Another definition of motivation states that it is the
influence of the needs and desires on the intensity of
behavior and direction it will follow. There is one more
expert who defined motivation as the arousal, direction, as
well as persistence of one's behavior. However, the fact
remains that is rather difficult to clearly define
motivation, as various experts in the field have come to
their varying conclusions through the years.
According to the various definitions there are varied
sources of motivation, such as follows :
. Behavioral : This is either to obtain desirable and
pleasant consequences or to avoid undesirable and
unpleasant consequences
. Social : This is related to the need to be a part of a
group
. Biological : This is related to the need to fulfill all
biological needs such as hunger, thirst; satisfy the
senses, etc.
. Cognitive : This is satisfy the various intellectual needs
. Affective : This relates to the emotional needs
. Conative : This pertains to achieving personal goals and
do away with any threats that come in the way of achieving
goals
. Spiritual : This relates to the goal of self-realization.
