Motivation is the inner decision of a person (employee) to do something. He has made his own decisions and wants to develop his activity and realize his goals, ideals and / or satisfy his needs and interests. If a person has a strong motivation, it is his energy sources that drives him in his activities to develop and achieve goals.
