Theories of Motivation
As I wake up every morning, a feeling of relentlessness stops me from standing up and I think of ideas and plot for what I’m going to do for the rest of the day. Such planning always involve inspirational sort of activities that can somehow stimulate positive self-esteem and initiate me to work harder in achieving my day to day objectives. As my words describe it, I believe that every people in this world, intriguing as it is, from the time of waking up; we devote ourselves to the perfection of whatever we pursue. It’s like having an unseen force beneath our senses that drive us to get things done. And what is this unseen force, you might ask? The study of human behavior calls it motivation. It is the force that initiates, guides and maintains goal-oriented behaviors. It is what causes us to take action, whether to get a broom and clean litters or enroll in masteral courses to earn a promotion. The forces that lie beneath motivation can be biological, social, emotional or cognitive in nature.
My research and studying helped me understand a number of different theories to explain motivation or sight an example. Each individual theory tends to be rather limited in scope. However, by looking at the key ideas behind each theory, I have gained a better understanding of motivation as a whole. Based from keen observation, people tend to avoid imminent danger when they feel so. In the animal kingdom, as seasons change, or when there is an upcoming natural disaster, they migrate from one place to another. Such actions are the result of motivation in the sense of their Instincts. Thus, Instinct Theory of Motivation best describes it. According to instinct theories, people are motivated to behave in certain ways because they are evolutionarily programmed to do so. This trait of actions is also considered in the example from the animal kingdom that I mentioned earlier. Animals do not learn to do this; it is instead an inborn pattern of behavior.
