Motivation

Motivation is the psychological process that prompts an individual to take action toward achieving specific 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 their tasks. Motivation can be intrinsic, coming from within the individual, such as personal satisfaction or enjoyment, or extrinsic, driven by external rewards, like money or praise. Understanding motivation is crucial in various fields, including psychology, education, and business, as it relates to performance, behavior, and personal development.
