Motivation generally is the overall provision of those individual needs that spared them to enter into an organization. Such need as the need for higher pay, a prestigious title in an office and host of other things that give people a reason to perform
Robert C. Apple, by his book â€œ Modern business administration â€œ defines Motivation as the way urges, aspiration drive and need of human beings are directed and explain their behaviour. According to him, motivation may simply be described as keenness for a particular pattern in behaviour
Harchet (1989) said that motivation is understanding the needs or urges which prompt people to do things and provide a way of helping them satisfy these through the organization while at the same time harnessing contribution to satisfy the organizational needs. The foundational principle of the need theory are that until the basic need are satisfy in the degree necessary to maintain life other needs would not motivate people
