Document Summary

Motivation internal drive to do something because of such things as interest, challenge, and personal satisfaction. Motivation that comes from outside the person such as praise, pay, tangible rewards, or a promotion. Maslow suggested that we are motivated simultaneously by several primary needs (drives), but the strongest source of motivation is the lowest unsatisfied need at the time. As the person satisfies a lower- level need, the next higher need in the hierarchy becomes the primary motivator and remains so even if never satisfied. The exception to this need fulfilment process is self -actualization; as people experience self- actualization, they desire more rather than less of this need. While the bottom four groups are deficiency needs because they become activated when unfulfilled, self -actualization is known as a growth need because it continues to develop even when fulfilled. Need for achievement people with a strong need for achievement (nach) want to accomplish reasonably challenging goals through their own effort.
