A state of mind in which a person views any particular task or goal.

Used as a term to describe the process of activating human behavior.

People vary in their ability to do an activity and in their willingness to do it.

Motivation is the willingness aspect.

Motives or needs are defined as wants, drives, or impulses within the individual. They are the drives to action and the reasons for behavior.

(Hersey & Blanchard, 1993).

Motivation has been described as the ability to get individuals to do what you want them to do, when and how you want it done.

To effectively motivate, leaders need to discover in their followers something that arouses a desire, energizes the will, and serves as a basis for action or thought.

Why do some people climb mountains?

While others run?

And others just sit?

And why do millions of people go to work each

day?

And with the right motivation

The Equity Theory was first discussed in early 1960's by J. S. Adams.

It was a practical explanation for why employees perform the way they

do.

An employee compares his/her job’s inputs-output ratio with that of relevant others and then corrects any inequity.

Employees are motivated when their perceived inputs equal outputs
