Type in a word or phrase to search, you can also type in Article ID's separated by commas:

Motivation is the internal condition that activates behavior and gives it direction; energizes and directs goal-oriented behavior. The term is generally used for human motivation but, theoretically, it can be used to describe the causes for animal behavior as well. This article refers to human motivation. According to various theories, motivation may be rooted in the basic need to minimize physical pain and maximize pleasure, or it may include specific needs such as eating and resting, or a desired object, hobby, goal, state of being, ideal, or it may be attributed to less-apparent reasons such as altruism, morality, or avoiding mortality.

In sports, the crowd may cheer the performer on, and this motivates him or her to do well. Trophies are also extrinsic incentives. Competition is often extrinsic because it encourages the performer to win and beat others, not to enjoy the intrinsic rewards of the activity.

Social psychological research has indicated that extrinsic rewards can lead to overjustification and a subsequent reduction in intrinsic motivation.

Extrinsic incentives sometimes can weaken the motivation as well. In one classic study done by Green & Lepper, children who were lavishly rewarded for drawing with felt-tip pens later showed little interest in playing with the pens again.

2. How Infant Hangers can Help Your Child
July 03, 2009

Believe it or not, there are some real benefits to using children’s hangers over adult hangers in a nursery or kid’s closet. I’m not only talking about protecting clothing or making space, but also about teaching responsibility and fostering childhood development. Child or infant hangers can be a motivational tool for teaching certain behaviors while helping to develop communication, cognitive, fine motor and gross motor skills. The first benefit of an infant hanger is the size. It fits right through the neck of delicate baby clothing without stretching it out of shape. The sides are ... (read more)

3. Enjoying Creative Corporate Team Building Events
July 02, 2009

A true leader knows that the saying, "There is no 'I' in team" is untrue. The phrase implies that team members must rescind their personal interests for the common good of the group and its goals. It is the team leader's job to guide group members in figuring out how their unique skills best complement the team's goals. One motivational speaker compared team dynamics to a train yard: individual cars are each carrying their own cargo to their destinations, but they need the connections to other train cars as well as the locomotive (team leader) so that everyone will succeed. Therefore, if ... (read more)

June 29, 2009

It was once said by an education consultant that in the United States, there is much more money spent on entertainment than education. When you fuse the two for learning purposes, the results can be dramatic. One company I know boosted their bottom line by spoofing game shows for training purposes. After several years of using the obligatory pie charts and overhead projectors to stoke productivity and raise customer satisfaction, employees responded with suppressed yawns and weak outcomes. Meetings were as exciting as a TV test pattern, so management solicited the aid of staff to spiff up the ... (read more)

10. Draw on your Strengths to Be, Have and Do anything you want
June 23, 2009

Most self help and motivational books advocate that we are unique as human beings because we have a set of innate abilities to change and become anything we want to become. They provide us with tools; strategies and techniques which they claim could change any situation and areas of weakness in our lives to our advantage. They say any person can learn almost any skill when the person applies the techniques provided in these books. Contrary to what these books say, reality dictates otherwise. That is why we have rocket scientist presumably thought of as the most intelligent, hard working resea... (read more)

Are your company meetings a source of inspiration, or perspiration? A shared laugh can kick off a meeting on a positive note by breaking tension, promoting teamwork, sparking creativity, and opening up greater possibility for agreements. It could be in the form of a joke, story, cartoon, or an exercise. According to Dr. Kenneth Pelletier, there are only two human activities that create total brain symmetry, i.e. completely connect the brain’s left side (logical side) with the right side (creative side). Those two activities are – laughter, and sex. Since you’re probably not going to start your... (read more)

12. Confront Your Fears and Grow
June 22, 2009

"If you want to be successful, you must be willing to be uncomfortable." Gil Eagles, motivational speaker. To realise your potential and achieve your goals, you must be willing to be uncomfortable - to do things that you're afraid to do. Although that sounds simple, most people back away when they face a frightening situation. However, life's "winners" are usually the people who do the things others are afraid to do. For example, one of the most successful people I know is a guy who is totally comfortable with "cold calling" (making unsolicited phone calls). Because he has no fear of ... (read more)

13. Keeping Your Focus
June 16, 2009

     I recently undertook the challenge of renovating a house and it has forced me to grow in ways I couldn't have imagined. Every day I have to develop a new skill and solve problems I've never encountered before. In addition to the challenge of working outside of my main strengths, I'm also benefiting from the experience by having a few motivational principles reinforced.      On any typical day after having worked on the house, I always notice two or three bumps, bruises or cuts that I hadn't detected before, or I notice them at the time of injury but dismiss them quickly afterward. ...

16. Use Mental Floss for Uncertainty and Confusion.
June 14, 2009

We recognize the signs and symptoms when company morale starts to plummet – employees shuffle into work like morose marionettes, pulled only by a string of survival needs. People are showing up late, or not at all, and new ideas are harder to find than a new mortgage from a bank. Sometimes an outrageous or unexpected interruption of the emerging negative pattern is imperative to revitalize the work force. Enter the “pattern interrupt.”Patterns of behavior can be interrupted and changed instantaneously. When employees lock into recurring patterns of negative behavior, it may serve them better t...

June 09, 2009

Introduction A young child questioned his mother about the character of his father: “Hey Momma! Is it true what they say that Papa never worked a day, in his life? And Momma, some bad talk goin' round town sayin' that Papa had three outside children….” This narrative from “Papa Was A Rolling Stone” was made famous by the Temptations. Eventually, the song would garner the Temptations a number one hit on the Billboard Hot 100 and three Grammy Awards. Unfortunately, the song represented an underpinning theme for millions of children who exist with a dysfunctional father in their lives. ... (read more)

25. Obese: A Common Menace in this Modern Era
June 01, 2009

It's called the obesity epidemic, and if the statistic that 60% of North Americans are overweight is correct, and then there is a very good chance that YOU are one of them. That's the most difficult part of this whole quest of mine - I end up speaking to people who don't really want to hear my message. Nobody likes to be called fat and out of shape. In fact, I think most people don't really even view themselves as being fat and out of shape. This is due mostly to averages - if everyone in our society were super-model skinny, and you were 10 pounds overweight, you would feel fat. In reality, th... (read more)
