Internal and external factors that stimulate desire and energy in people to be continually interested
and committed to a goal oriented behavior.
According to business dictionary (2013)
Motivation results from the interaction of both conscious
and unconscious factors such as the
(1) intensity of desire or need
(2) incentive or reward value of the goal,
(3) expectations of the individuals and of his or her peers.
These factors are the reasons one has, for behaving a certain way. An example is a student that spends extra time studying for a test because he or she wants a better grade in the class.
