This is an internal state that stimulates a person to achieve the goal and, as a consequence, restore balance (both psychological and physical), reduce stress or completely disappear. There are several types of motivation.

one
External (or extrinsic) motivation. Due to external causes, it stimulates the manifestation of certain human behavior and actions. For example, an external incentive to continue working on an unloved job may be additional incentives from the employer (free housing, interest-free installments, etc.). To start your own business is often an external incentive is the ability to make big profits.
2
Intrinsic (or intrusive) motivation. In contrast to external motivation, it is connected with the internal motives of a person, with the content of activity, and encourages one or another behavior or act. For example, a person saving a drowning person is prompted not by an incentive to get profit (monetary reward, encouragement, etc.), but by a sense of duty, a sincere desire to help in trouble.
3
Positive (or positive) motivation. It is based on positive incentives aimed at increasing productivity, sales, labor efficiency, etc. Positive incentives can be both material reward (bonus, bonus, etc.), and various forms of praise (diploma, gratitude, the opportunity to be the boss).
4
Negative (or negative) motivation. It is formed on negative incentives, it encourages action only by the fact that a person seeks to avoid an unpleasant situation. Negative incentives can be verbal (verbal) punishment - remark, public censure, conviction, etc.; material deprivation - a fine, refusal to provide bonuses, privileges; isolation from society - ignoring, neglecting the collective or even imprisonment; corporal punishment.
