What is motivation? What are the methods of staff motivation?

First of all, let’s start our article with the definition of the concept of motivation. Motivation is the behavior of individuals with their individual wishes and desires in order to achieve a goal. When we look at the definition, it is very important that we determine the right sources of motivation for ourselves.

For example, just as when we are hungry and eat sour, sweet and salty at the same time, they mix in our stomach and make us feel nauseous, the motivation that an individual wants to provide for himself is a great source that feeds us.

Therefore, attacking many places instead of creating motivation for ourselves will affect you negatively. In other words, dealing with many things will tire you more, make you feel burnout syndrome, and most importantly, cause your motivation to decrease.

In addition to these, it would be possible to give a current example. For example; you must have seen people who eat too much on the weekend and say that they will definitely start a diet on Monday.

So who really started a diet on Monday? Everyone knows what they need to do to increase their motivation. Unfortunately, the problem isn’t that they don’t know. Most people know how to get motivated.

But unfortunately, he does not apply these methods. People learn many new things at every age and even every day. Therefore, it has certainly been experienced that knowing something is a remedy after not applying it.

What are the motivation methods?

First of all, let’s say that there are internal and external factors that affect our individual motivation . If we were to describe internal factors, we can say that there are factors such as a person’s intention, the goals they set for themselves, psychological problems, self-confidence, the ability of a person to cope with anxiety, and a sense of curiosity.

If we list the external factors, especially the expectations of the family and society, the punishment and reward systems applied to the individual, and the learning models, which are common in our society, also have a great effect. Finally, the tendencies in the circle of friends are also listed among the external factors.

So what should we do to increase our personal motivation?

Problems usually start with not being happy with our lives. It especially continues with postponing many things in our lives. The day you will do something never comes.
