What Does Motivation Mean?
Motivation describes the pursuit of goals or desirable objects for the human being and
it is based on emotional and
neuronal activities. Motivation triggers the readiness to act and is therefore a „driving force“ for
behavior

Motivation
…scientific studies show that…
Motivation and self-motivation are important key qualifications in the job world
Motivation is the core aspect of a profitable workforce, for the employee as well as for the employer
Motivated employees are more successful in most cases Motivation at work is the driving force for the employees;
leaving the house every morning and getting to the work place
Fully motivated and engaged employees are rare
Motivation
According to research only 13% of all employees are engaged and motivated at work
67% work according to instructions and rules20% already quit their job internally and simply waste time in the office (lack of motivation)
That does not have to be the case. Our tips for increased motivation at work should help you to restart the system and accelerate again!
Types of Motivation
Motivation can be created internally (interests, ambition, pleasure in learning and working) = intrinsic motivation
Motivation can also be created externally (pressure, praise, reward, money) = extrinsic motivation
Types of Motivation
Intrinsic Motivation Internal stimulus Interest based actions Incentive lies in the resulting action object (e.g. a self-made christmas present)
Intrinsic based motivational actions are the prototype of self-determining actions
Types of Motivation
Extrinsic MotivationExternal stimulusBehavior that is conducted through instrumental intention
Does not appear spontaneously, rather is triggered through a request
This behavior results in consequences Activity ends as soon as the purpose is fulfilled
Motivation – Use Your Imagination
Our imagination is the perfect weapon against loss of motivation
and lack of drive!If you imagine your accelerating success every day it will have a
spill-over effect on your motivation. Just try it for one weeks by
imagining yourself succeeding every morning for about 5 minutes.
Try to use all your thoughts and imagination to make it as real and lively as possible. Your motivation
during work will increase tremendously within only a view
days!

Celebrate Yourself!!!
Many times we feel a lack of motivation when we don‘t receive a lot of recognition and appreciation. You cannot expect that people will applaud you whenever you accomplish a certain task or challenge. In order to remain motivated you have to acknowledge and value your own successes. Celebrate yourself every now and then after accomplishing a big obstacle. Self-praise is the answer! Let your partner know as well. Enjoy the beauty of being „done“ with something. When you finish certain tasks with that attitude in your mind you will for sure have more fun next time you face a challenge of this degree. Then, you will relate it to something positive and good.
Bottom Line
For the pupose of self-motivation set daily, weekly, and monthly events that trigger fun and pleasure within yourself
Attach guiding principles and values to each and every day Exaggerating perfectionism can create too high expectations
and can lead to demotivation Take small steps towards the large goal of task-completion,
go step by step and celebrate each of them when accomplished
Be excited about what you accomplished each and every day at work
Only schedule the amount of meetings that you can go to and be prepared for. Time-management is a big part of motivation. Don‘t hesitate to say NO when too much is demanded...
