DISCUSSION
2.1 Psychology Theory
2.1.1
Motivation
Motivation
is not strange anymore in our environment. But, do we know the real motivation
meaning is? It being a question for us. Based
on psychology theory, motivation refers to physiological or
psychological factors that account for the arousal, direction, and persistence
of behavior. The aspects of motivation are : (a) a motivational state that
promoted the behavior, (b) the goal toward which the behavior is directed, and
(c) reasons for variability in the intensity of the behavior.
2.1.2
Definition of
Motivation
Motivation is generally defined as the force that compels us to action. It drives
us to work hard and pushes us to succeed. Motivation influences our behavior
and our ability to accomplish goals. Motivation
is literally the desire to do things, it’s the difference between waking up
before dawn to pound the pavement and lazing around the house all day. It’s the
crucial element in setting and attaining goals. Research shows you can
influence your own levels of motivation and self control. So figure out what
you want, power through the pain period, and start being who you want to be.
According
to psychology theory, there is form of motivation, such as :
1.
Internal
Motivation
The driving
force that comes from inside us, and causes us to do a good job because we feel
good about ourselves when we accomplish something. When we are internally
motivated, we operate according to our own values. It's important to recognize
what's driving you along, and to build a sense of pride in your work. It's OK
to make other people proud of you--but it's also important that you impress
yourself from time to time.
2.
External
Motivation
motivation that comes from outside
an individual. The motivating factors are external, or outside, rewards such as
money or grades. These rewards provide satisfaction and pleasure that the task
itself may not provide.
3.
Forced
Motivation
Although forced motivation
is not to be seen as a negative way of motivation, it should be used with a
common sense of being complimentary to the goal you wish to achieve by
“frocing” the motivation. Forced motivation usually come when an individual in
a forced time to do something they want.
Beside of that, there some theories
of motivation, such as :
1.
Need
Something that is necessary for
organisms to live a healthy life. Needs are distinguished from wants
because a deficiency would cause a clear negative outcome, such as dysfunction
or death. Needs can be objective and physical, such as food, or they can be subjective and psychological, such as the need for self-esteem.
2. Drive
According to the drive theory of motivation, people are motivated to take
certain actions in order to reduce the internal tension that is caused by unmet
needs. For example, you might be motivated to drink a glass of water in order
to reduce the internal state of thirst.
3. Justice
The quality of
being just, conformity to the principles of righteousness and rectitude in all
things.
4. Hope
The emotional state which promotes the belief in a positive outcome
related to events and circumstances in one's life.
5. Enforcement
Something that enforce
an individual to do their motivation they want.
2.1.3 Types of Motivation
Incentive
A form of motivation that involves rewards,
both monetary and nonmonetary is often called incentive motivation. Many people
are driven by the knowledge that they will be rewarded in some manner for
achieving a certain target or goal. Bonuses and promotions are good examples of
the type of incentives that are used for motivation.
Fear
Fear motivation involves consequences. This
type of motivation is often one that is utilized when incentive motivation
fails. In a business style of motivation often referred to as the, “carrot and
stick,” incentive is the carrot and fear is the stick.
Punishment or negative consequences are a
form of fear motivation. This type of motivation is commonly used to motivate
students in the education system and also frequently in a professional
setting to motivate employees. If we break the rules or fail to achieve the set
goal, we are penalized in some way.
Achievement
Achievement motivation is also commonly
referred to as the drive for competency. We are driven to achieve goals and tackle new challenges. We desire to
improve skills and prove our competency both to others and to ourselves.
Generally, this feeling of accomplishment and achievement is intrinsic in
nature.
However, in certain circumstances be
motivation for achievement may involve external recognition. We often have a
desire or need to receive positive feedback from both our peers and our
superiors. This may include anything from an award to a simple pat on the back
for a job well done.
Growth
The need for self-improvement is truly an internal motivation. A burning
desire to increase our knowledge of ourselves and of the outside world can be a
very strong form of motivation. We seek to learn and grow as individuals.
Motivation for growth can also be seen in our
yearning for change. Many of us are wired by our personality or upbringing to
constantly seek a change in either our external or internal environment or
knowledge. We view stagnation to be both negative and undesirable.
Power
The motivation of power can either take the
form of a desire for autonomy or other desire to control others around us. We
want to have choices and control over our own lives. We strive for the ability
to direct the manner in which we live now and the way our lives will unfold in
the future.
We also often aspire to control others around
us. The desire for control is stronger in some people than others. In some
cases, the craving for power induces people to harmful, immoral, or illegal
behavior. In other situations, the longing for power is merely a desire to
affect the behavior of others. We simply want people to do what we want,
according to our timetable, and the way we want it done.
Social
Many people are motivated by social factors.
This may be a desire to belong and to be accepted by a specific peer group or a
desire to relate to the people in our sphere or in the larger world. We have an
innate need to feel a connection with others. We also have the need for
acceptance and affiliation.
A genuine and passionate desire to contribute
and to make a difference in the lives of others can be another form of social
motivation. If we have a longing to make a contribution to the world around us,
it is generally a sign that we are motivated by social factors.
The real importance of understanding the
different types of motivation is in our ability to determine which form of
motivation is the most effective for inspiring the desired behavior in either
others or ourselves. None of these styles of motivation is inherently good or
bad, the positive or negative outcome is truly determined by the way they are
used.
