Types of Motivation..which Motivation Type gives you the Strength and Ability toPerform and Accomplish... Have you ever wondered just which motivation type, can improve your life....providing you with clearity....enhancing your abilities each and everyday, in order to live your life to it's fullest potential, with purpose in your existence...? Many individuals believe that they can define their purpose within the very things that motivate them. While others may be more visual and react to things they see that motivate them.
We are all different, thus there is no ONE magic motivation solution that will motivate all of us to take action....everybody’s motivation requires their own personal triggers…
1) Achievement... The longing for achievement…this motivation type is that of when an individual looks to reach a goal. Although this may be of an intrinsic in nature, not all individuals adopt achievement as their motivation. But rather are motivated by a specific goal. And in addition in order to attain that goal, they will do whatever possible or that is required to reach it. The simplicity or complexity of reaching the goal is dependant on the individual’s perception. Accomplishing goals are very much an individual thing, what one may find to be a relatively easy goal to reach; another may find or feel the same goal to be virtually impossible. Nevertheless, the motivation of achievement has a way of growing in complexity as you work your way along. 2) Incentive... Motivation type involves rewards. Some individuals will do everything possible to reach a specific goal when they are motivated by the belief that they will receive a reward. Although the motivation of achievement is focused on the goal itself, an immense amount of motivation is directed by the idea that the goal will provide individual benefits. Companies use these types of motivation by way of providing bonuses or other types of incentive for additional work. The company’s position for motivation is that, by offering incentives the objective is to raise moral with their employees, encouraging them to work harder, ultimately raising productivity, leading to rewards… 3) Fear motivation... As incentives will not work for all individuals; occasionally fear and punishment are used as the alternative option. This motivation type involves outlining detailed consequences should an individual continue to not comply with a set of expected behavior. Fear motivation is often witnessed within companies and is used in parallel with incentive motivation. Employees are often subjected to a reward and punishment system, in which they are given incentives for accomplishing set out goals, but they are also given punishment when they refuse to comply with specific policies. 2) Socialization... For a number of individual’s socialization is their main motivation for actions. Take peer pressure for example…for the need to be treated equally and or feeling of acceptance among a group of people, some individuals will be ready to do almost anything 5) Change motivation... From time to time individuals will create changes within their surrounding environment. The motivation type, change motivation, is often from the basis of genuine growth. As an individual may simply have had enough of how certain environmental things as a result developed new and better ways to progress and grow from it. 6) Intrinsic - Extrinsic Motivation... Extrinsic
motivation factors are
external in nature to the individual and unrelated to the task they are
performing. For example these may include money, high grades,
and or
other Rewards. Intrinsic motivation factors are of a deeper more meaningful nature, an individual who is intrinsically motivated have a tendency to be more willing and eager to learn new material. Thus bringing a more significant learning experience and going deeper into the subject to fully understand it. Conversely,
extrinsically motivated individuals may
require additional
motivation by way of rewards or bonus to perform the same tasks.
