Document Summary

Motivation the processes that account for an individual"s intensity, direction and persistence of effort toward attaining a goal. However, high intensity is unlikely to lead to favourable job- performance outcomes unless the effort is channeled in a direction that benefits the organization. Therefore, we consider the quality of effort as well as its intensity. Effort directed toward, and consistent with, the organization"s goals is the kind of effort we should be seeking. This measures how long a person can maintain effort. Physiological includes hunger, thirst, shelter, sex, and other bodily needs. Safety security and protection from physical and emotional harm. Social affection, belongingness, acceptance, and friendship. Esteem internal factors such as self-respect, autonomy, and achievement, and external factors such as status, recognition, and attention. Self-actualization drive to become what we are capable of becoming; includes growth, achieving our potential, and self-fulfillment. Although no need is ever fully gratified, a substantially satisfied need no longer motivates.
