Abstract

motivation is derived from Latin word 'movere' that means 'to move'. Motive means 'that which move the will'. Motivating means to take more initiative & interest in the work assigned. It is an art of getting things done willingly from others. motivation means that an individual in such a way it drives him/her to satisfy a need. The performance of an individual is function of his ability & willingness or desire to use his ability in achieving certain goals. The willingness or desire to act, to behave, to run, or even to keep quiet is what may be called in simplest manner as motivation.

The greatest motivation comes from a person's belief system that means he needs to believe in what he does & accept responsibility. That is where motivation is important. They become more productive, personally & professionally. Their relationships improve both at home & at work life becomes more meaningful & fulfilled. motivation is just like a fire - unless you keep adding fuel it dies, just like exercise & food don't last long neither does motivation. However the source of motivation is belief in inner values.
