MOTIVATION: The Role of Motivation in Organizational Behavior

The process of initiating, guiding, and maintaining goal-oriented behaviours is known as motivation. It's what motivates you to take action, whether it's drinking a glass of water to quench your thirst or reading a book to learn something new.

The biological, emotional, social, and cognitive variables that trigger behaviour are all part of motivation. The term "motivation" is widely used in ordinary speech to express why someone does something. It is the force that propels human behaviour.

Internal motivation is a process. Whether we refer to it as a desire or a need, motivation is a state of mind that yearns for change, whether it be in oneself or in the surroundings. Motivation provides the drive and direction needed to engage with the world in an adaptive, open-ended, and problem-solving manner when we tap into this reservoir of energy.

Energized and persistent goal-directed action is the essence of motivation. We move and take action when we are motivated.
