How We get Motivated?

Motivation is not an external factor but an internal influencing factor.Parents do not motivate their sons or daughters neither the sale managers to the salepeople., people motivate themselves.Level of motivation differs between each other.

Everyone of us is motivated !!!!.

The common external factors of motivation are basically two;
1) Reward motivation and
2) Fear motivation
But both could produce temporary results as they are force outside themselves.

1) Reward motivation -
May be effective to many people but does not work all the time on everyone.It is based on a want,and once it is satisfied, it is no longer a want and no longer serves to motivate.

2) Fear motivation-

Opposite of the above.It is based on punishment - the idea of "DO or else!" .Those who could tolerate the punishment, this motivation is not effective at all.

One of the inherent problem , many of us or organization use both of them on to their people.They have been moderately effective over the years but producing optimum result. Organization and people must realise that the best motivation is not external but INTERNAL
