Category: Motivation

Motivation refers to the internal and external factors that stimulate a desire and energy in individuals to be continually interested and committed to a task, role, or subject, or to make an effort to attain a goal. It is the driving force behind actions and behaviors, influencing how much effort one is willing to expend in pursuit of objectives. Motivation can be categorized into intrinsic motivation, which comes from within the individual (such as personal satisfaction or enjoyment), and extrinsic motivation, which is driven by external rewards (such as money, recognition, or approval). Understanding motivation is crucial in various contexts, including education, work, and personal development, as it affects performance, persistence, and overall well-being.
