Why Is Motivation So Important?
When you consider the competitive pressures of the marketplace, the different personalities and characteristics of employees, company budgets and general time constraints, the work environment can often be strained and difficult.
What would it mean to your company if you could have everyone pulling together; a real team effort. Could this improve morale, increase enthusiasm, improve profitability and success? You better believe it can! Imagine the power of having all of the employees supporting one another, motivated in one common goal.
Recent studies and newspaper articles have shown that employees are often unhappy, depressed and unsatisfied with their careers. And, in many cases, they consider quitting or moving on.

Motivation (Dictionary Definitions)
The following definitions of motivation were taken from a variety of psychology textbooks and reflect the general consensus that motivation is an internal state or condition (sometimes described as a need, desire, or want) that serves to activate or energize behavior and give it direction (see Kleinginna and Kleinginna, 1981a).
- internal state or condition that activates behavior and gives it direction;
- desire or want that energizes and directs goal-oriented behavior;
- influence of needs and desires on the intensity and direction of behavior.
Franken (1994) provides an additional component in his definition:
- the arousal, direction, and persistence of behavior
