Abstract

Motivation is a fundamental psychological concept that drives human behavior and is pivotal in understanding why individuals pursue specific goals, activities, and actions. Defined as the process that initiates, guides, and sustains goal-oriented behaviour, motivation encompasses various internal and external factors that influence an individual's decisions and persistence (Ryan & Deci, 2000). The study of motivation has been extensively explored across multiple disciplines, including psychology, education, business, and neuroscience, because of its critical role in enhancing performance, satisfaction, and personal fulfilment. Motivation is a complex and multifaceted concept that plays a crucial role in shaping human behaviour. Through various theoretical frameworks, such as Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs, Self-Determination Theory, and Goal-Setting Theory, researchers have gained a deeper understanding of the factors that drive motivation
