Motivation

It is said that "Management Is an Art of Getting Things done through others". Motivation plays a key role in implementing the above said statement. It basically bridges the gap between willingness to work and ones efficiency. Motivation influences the performance of an individual to a great extent by creating desire to achieve a positive outcome. The basic elements in motivation are human needs which vary from person to person. To understand the basic common needs is very important to control the motivation process. As described in (http://opax.swin.edu.au/~388226/howto/it2/motiv1.htm)

Motivation can be defined as "a concept used to describe the factors within an individual which arouse, maintain and channel behaviour towards a goal". The process begins with identifying a persons needs, these needs act as energizers which influences him to make an extra effort to achieve the desired goal.
