Motivation or drive is a process that explains the intensity , direction and persistence of an individual in achieving his goals. [1] The three main elements in this definition include intensity, direction, and persistence. [2]

Based on Abraham Maslow's hierarchy of needs theory , Douglas McGregor's theory X and Y theory and contemporary motivation theory, the meaning of motivation is the 'reason' underlying an action carried out by an individual. A person is said to have high motivation if that person has a very strong reason to achieve what he wants by doing the work he is currently doing. This is different from the meaning of motivation that has developed in society which is often equated with 'enthusiasm', for example in the conversation "I want my child to have high motivation". This statement can be interpreted as meaning that the parents want their children to have a high enthusiasm for learning. So, it needs to be understood that there are differences in the use of the term motivation in society. There are those who interpret motivation as a reason, encouragement, and there are also those who interpret it the same as enthusiasm.

In the relationship between motivation and intensity, intensity is related to how hard a person tries, but high intensity does not produce satisfactory work performance unless the effort is linked to a direction that benefits the organization . [2] On the other hand, the last element, namely persistence, is a measure of how long someone can maintain their business.
