Chapter 2
Determining Your Motivators
Synopsis
Motivators have a big impact on your life. There are different types of motivators and each one of them is unique in its own way. In the following chapter you will learn more about different types of motivators.
Understanding the Different Kinds of Motivation
What drives people to do the things that they do? Why are some people successful while others fail? The right answer for this probably lies in their motivations.
Even from an early age, you are aware that motivation is what prompts you to learn and exhibit various kinds of behavior, stimulating you to accomplish new successful feats. And when you mature and grow older, while going through the different stages of your life, you also get to learn the things that motivate you and the things that don’t.
Motivation Defined
In general, motivation is defined as the force which compels people to action. This is what drives you to work hard and pushes you to succeed. It greatly influences your behavior as well as your ability to accomplish goals.
Motivation comes in different forms, with every single one of them having an influence on a person’s behavior. No specific kind of motivation works for all people. Individuals have different personalities, so therefore, their motivators will be different as well.
Types of Motivation
Fear – This kind of motivation comes with consequences and this is usually used when another kind of motivation, the incentive motivation, becomes a failure. Negative consequences or punishment are forms of this motivation. This is usually used for motivating students in educational systems and is also used in professional settings for motivating employees. When rules are broken or the set goal was not achieved, you will be penalized in some way.
Incentive – This form of motivation is one that involves rewards, either in the form of money or not. A lot of people are driven when they know that they will be getting a reward when they reach a goal or target. Promotions and bonuses are great examples of this kind of motivation.
