Motivation in Organizations

Ideally, organizations are comprised of employees who have the ability to keep the company successfully moving forward. However, the value of employees is based on the level of their job performance. This performance depends on the effort these employees put into work, their ability, and employer support. Effort is in part determined by motivation, a topic that is worthy of consideration.

Motivation is the desire that exists within a person that causes that individual to act. People usually act for a number of reasons, but they are often tied to goals that have been set by themselves or by others around them. Thus, motivation is a goal-directed drive, and the process seldom occurs in a void.

Approaches to understanding motivation vary because many theorists have developed their own views and models. Some approaches focus on intrinsic motivators that are inside an individual, while others concentrate on extrinsic factors that enhance motivation externally. Each approach has contributed to the understanding of human motivation.

There is a motivating effect associated with making successful progress in meaningful work. Some would argue that this is the most powerful basis for motivation.
