MOTIVATION
6. • We put efforts because we are
motivated to learn
7. • Two categories of motives

Motives which are linked with basic
primary needs and associated with
biological well being of an individual.

Need for food,water and oxygen.

11. Types of Motivation
Natural/Intrins
ic Motivation
Linked with
natural instincts
Derives pleasure
within the
learning
Artificial/Extrins
ic Motivation
No functional
relationship to
the task
Source of
pleasure does
not lie within
the task
12. Goal l is just
pleasure
For instance-
I enjoy reading
poetry, so it gives
me pleasure and
in this way I am
naturally
motivated to read
it.
Goal is not
pleasure rather
external rewards
For instance-
I am doing B.Ed so
that I can appear
in HTET/CTET
exams, It does
not give me
pleasure, so I am
not naturally
motivated. It is a
means of
attaining desired
goal.
13. Theories of Motivation
McClelland's Theory
of Needs
o An individual's specific needs
are acquired over time and are
shaped by one's life experiences
o Most of these needs can be
classified as
Achievement
Affiliation
Power
14. o McClelland's theory sometimes
is also referred as the three
needs theory or as the learned
needs theory.
Achievement
o People with a high need for
achievement (nAch) seek to
excel and tend to avoid both
low-risk and high-risk
situations.
Achievers avoid low-risk situations
because the easily attained success is not
a genuine achievement.
15. Achievers avoid high-risk situations because
they see the outcome as one of chance
rather than one's own effort.
o High nAch individuals prefer work
that has a moderate probability of
success, ideally a 50% chance.
o Achievers need regular feedback in
order to monitor the progress of their
achievements.
o They prefer either to work alone or
with other high achievers.
16. Affiliation
• Those with a high need for
affiliation (nAff) need
harmonious relationships with
other people and need to feel
accepted by other people.
• They tend to conform to the
norms of their work group.
• High nAff individuals prefer
work that provides significant
personal interaction.
• They perform well in customer
17. Power
• A person's need for power (nPow)
can be one of two types: -personal
-institutional.
• Those who need personal power
want to direct others, and this need
often is perceived as undesirable.
• Persons who need institutional
power (also known as social power)
want to organize the efforts of
others to further the goals of the
organization.
18. Maslow’s Theory of Self
Actualization
Abraham Maslow in 1954 stated
that human needs tend to
arrange themselves in
hierarchies of prepotency.
o Appearance of one need
depends on the satisfaction of
the other.
o The physiological needs
necessary for survival are at the
19. o A need that has been satisfied
is no longer a need.
o Behaviour of a person is always
dominated not by his satisfied
needs but by his unsatisfied
wants, desires and needs.
