Motivation is essentially about commitment to doing something Factors stimulating motivation can be • • • • • Self-satisfaction Success or achieving your goals Desire for money Recognition Team work, etc. Intrinsic and Extrinsic Motivation Intrinsic motivation relies on internal, personal factors such as needs, interests, and curiosity Definition – motivation associated with activities that are their own reward. Extrinsic motivation relies on external, environmental factors such as rewards, social pressure, and punishment. Definition – Motivation created by external factors such as rewards and punishments that has very little to do with the task itself. Maslow theory of motivation Maslow's theory consisted of two parts: The classification of human needs, and Consideration of how the classes are related to each other How does the hierarchy work? A person starts at the bottom of the hierarchy (pyramid) and will initially seek to satisfy basic needs (e.g. food, shelter) Once these physiological needs have been satisfied, they are no longer a motivator. the individual moves up to the next level Safety needs at work could include physical safety (e.g. protective clothing) as well as protection against unemployment, loss of income through sickness etc.) Social needs recognize that most people want to belong to a group. These would include the need for love and belonging (e.g. working with colleague who support you at work, teamwork, communication) Esteem needs are about being given recognition for a job well done. They reflect the fact that many people seek the esteem and respect of others. A promotion at work might achieve this Self-actualization is about how people think about themselves - this is often measured by the extent of success and/or challenge at work Strategies to stay motivated Motivational strategies in this module have been organized into the following themes: Am I maximizing my intrinsic sources of motivation? Do my values fit my goals and actions? Do I feel a sense of control? Do I have balance and connection to self and others? How can I maintain my drive and energy? Am I maximizing my intrinsic motivation? The more intrinsic interest you have, the better.

Do you enjoy reading materials that motivates you to reach your goals? What makes you exciting about your goal? What kind of research you made about your goal? Do you get excited by new research findings? What kind of latest information available within your field? Do you find yourself thinking about your goals all the time? Try a thought experiment: If you could design and work on your goal, with no limits at all, what would it be? Whether or not your dream project is realistic or not. Do my values fit my goals and actions? Think clearly & specifically about your future plans: Unity and cohesion of values and actions is the goal. • Where do you see yourself? What do you want? • Consider whether how you spend your time day to day corresponds with your future goals • Imagine where you see yourself after your course and structure your time to pursue that goal TOOL: Values-Based Goal Setting Analysis My Value: ________________________________ Goal I want to achieve: ______________________________________________ Steps to achieve: _______________________________ Barriers: ______________________________________ Strategies: ____________________________________ Date achieved:__________________________________ Common Barriers Barriers 1 Barriers 2 CINIMA OVER SLEEP CABLE TV LAZY CHATTING PROCRASTINATION CELL PHONE NEGETIVITY CRICKET WATCHING HESITATION Can I make choices?
