2 MOTIVATION IN ORGANISATIONAL SETTINGS.
2.1 WHAT IS MOTIVATION?.
Motivation is a reflection of the reasons why people do things. All behavior has purposes. All behavior is therefore based on choice; people choose to do things they do. Some times this choice is very restricted (sink or swim for example). Sometimes it's constrained by the law (for example, stop the car when traffic lights are red). And again it's constrained by social norms and processes. In each case how ever there is a choice, though the propensity, encouragement, direction to choose one course of action rather that another depend on the extend of emphasis on above factors.
