Question 1
Explain the concept of motivation.
Solution
The concept of motivation focuses on explaining what moves behaviour. Most of our everyday explanation of behaviour is given in terms of motives. There may be a number of reasons for a particular behaviour. Motives also help in making predictions about behaviour. A person will work hard in schools, in sports, in business, in music and in many other situations, if he has a very strong need for an achievement. Hence, motives are the general states that enables us to make predictions about behaviour in many different situations.
