Motivation

Motivation is the psychological process that drives individuals to take action toward achieving goals or fulfilling needs. It encompasses the internal and external factors that stimulate desire and energy in people to be continually interested and committed to a task or role. Motivation can be intrinsic, arising from within an individual, driven by personal satisfaction or a sense of purpose, or extrinsic, influenced by external rewards such as money, praise, or recognition. It plays a critical role in behavior, influencing performance, persistence, and the willingness to confront challenges. In various fields such as psychology, education, and business, understanding motivation helps in developing effective strategies for engagement, productivity, and overall well-being.
