The four theories of motivation are the biological theory, the psychosocial theory of motivation, the biopsychosocial theory, and the achievement theory. Everyone has their own motivation in life for continuing education and career choices. Every person also has intrinsic and extrinsic motivators. Intrinsic is an internal motivation for self-satisfaction. Extrinsic is an external motivation, or reward for a person's achievements. Motivation Theories: Linda was motivated to return to school because she wanted an education that would help her advance in her career, or help her transition to another. Linda worked her way up in her field and discovered that people with college degrees earned more for the same position as her. It is well known that these days a degree is what an employer is looking for. He also felt like he was in a state of complacency and needed to exercise his brain. This is the motivation that drives Linda to continue her education. Linda believes that achievement motivation is her own form of motivation. Linda needs to be challenged. When there are no challenges, she becomes bored and detached. Going back to school was a challenge for Linda. Linda has not been to school for more than thirty years, she feels a sense of gratification every time she gets a good grade. Earning a college degree gives Linda the opportunity to be more competitive in her field, having a high GPA gives her satisfaction for working hard and gives her even more of an advantage in the field of employment, this is a goal Linda hopes to achieve. Audra is motivated to continue her education and do well in school for several reasons. She would like to set a good example for her three children, she wants to be successful and she wants to earn... half of her studies... school, her daughter could end up living a life like she had as a child. He believes that the harder he works and the better his grades, the more successful he will be. His goal is not to be filthy rich, but to see the smile on his daughter's face when she comes home to a safe and happy environment. This is Jamie's extrinsic reward. Theories about motivating our team members are achievement theory and psychosocial theory. Each team member has a different motivation for continuing their education. We also all have different intrinsic and extrinsic motivations. These motivators are what keep us motivated to continue our education and achieve our ultimate goal of earning a degree and a career in each of our chosen fields.
