Motivation is a force present in humans that cause, directing, and organizing behavior (Behavior). This behavior arises because of the encouragement of internal factors and external factors. The behavior is seen as a reaction or response to a stimulus.
Woodhworth (in Petri, 1981) * revealed that the behavior is due to the motivation or drive (a drive) that lead individuals to act in accordance with the interests or objectives to be achieved. Because without the encouragement was not there will be a power that directs individuals to the behavior of a mechanism. The drive is powered by a need (need), in the sense of generating needs encouragement, and encouragement eventually led to activate or behavioral mechanisms.
Further explained that motivation as the cause of the behavior according to the concept Woodworth has 3 (three) characteristics, namely:
- Intensity; concerning weak and strong encouragement causing certain individuals behave;
- Giving directions; directing individuals in avoiding or perform a certain behavior;
- Persistence or the tendency to repeat the behavior continuously.
In other words, if all three are weak, then the motivation will not be able to cause the behavior.
Another view put forward by Hull (in As'ad, 1995) * which asserts that a person's behavior is influenced by motivation or encouragement by holding interests fulfillment or satisfaction of the needs that exist in the individual. Further explained that the behavior did not arise solely because of the encouragement that originated from the needs of the individual, but also because of the factors studied. Boost factor is conceived as a collection of energy that can activate behavior or as a motivational factor, according to Hull where the behavior is a function of three things: the strength of the incentive for individuals; habits derived from the study, as well as the interaction between the two.
Based on the above, both concepts put forward Woodhworth and Hull explained that motivation is closely related to behavior. Motivation is a construct that starts from the need or requirement on the individual self in the form of active energy that causes boost with particular intensity for activating, giving directions, and making persistent (repeated) from a behavior to meet the needs of the underlying causes impulse itself. Well, for those of you fans of Mario Teguh or love to read motivational words, make sure that certain things should be fulfilled in order to change behavior you expect to be real.
