Motivation is driven by many factors. These factors can be classified under external and internal. But the most important fact is that factors and conditions may be classified under external or internal but the fact remains that motivation is driven through minds. We may talk of good working conditions, job satisfaction and higher remunerations but what drives and motivates a worker is the state of his or her mind.

Motivation is driven by many factors. These factors can be classified under external and internal. But the most important fact is that factors and conditions may be classified under external or internal but the fact remains that motivation is driven through minds. We may talk of good working conditions, job satisfaction and higher remunerations but what drives and motivates a worker is the state of his or her mind.
Any human being’s reaction is sum function of many external and internal factors happening around. Some us get motivated by higher remuneration while others are more inclined towards societal recognition. Individual’s persona plays great role in shaping up his or her behaviour. We have witnessed people working in chilling nights and burning sun with high commitment and dedication. We have also seen organizations spending millions on giving training to their employees but at the same time lacking in providing right ambience at the office. Motivation can not just be addressed through delivering pep talks. Initial motivating factors have to be supplemented with right amount of follow up efforts.
Different individuals have their different needs and satisfaction levels. Remember Maslow’s Hierarchy of needs. Beginning with Physiological needs like Food, Water and Sex, the requirement of individuals keep on maturing and getting refined as they move up. Next to fall in the hierarchical level is Safety needs. Safety of body, jobs, family, health and property fall under this categorization. Next level is need for Love/Belongingness. Friendship, Love and Intimacy gets classified under this category. Next level belongs to “Esteem”. Achievement, respect by others and respect of others are some of needs which fall under this category.
Self actualization is the top most hierarchical level and very few of us are in a position to touch this need level. But those of us who have been able to reach this level will not get motivated by fulfilment of needs mentioned in the categories below this level. So every individual is different and their level of need fulfilment is different.
In order to touch the core of any individual it is important to know the level of need fulfilment. A person whose requirement is only physiological will not get influenced by any of the need fulfilment methodology you adopt based on higher satisfaction levels of needs. Similarly a person who has attained maturity levels commensurate with self actualization level will not get motivated by lower level needs. In fact if he or she has been able to attain that top hierarchical level of needs, it simply means that they have moved up the ladder and progressed to higher levels. Their motivation will have to be drawn from their needs commensurate with their levels.
There are many motivational theories floating around through which psychologists have worked upon masses and leaders alike and tried to scientifically analyse human behaviour. Psychologists have been puzzled by complexity of human mind which responds differently to same stimuli under varying conditions.
Leadership theories have a long association with motivation and associated human behaviours theories. Leadership theories lay strong emphasis on motivation and ways to bring about the best amongst the working people.
In the end we would summarize by adding that there is no guide book which can teach you to motivate others. Motivation is all about stirring the minds of people with positive thoughts. To motivate, you will have to see that your subjects’ needs have been fulfilled. To motivate, you have yourself to be a very sensitive and caring type of a person.
