ABSTRACT
Motivation has been deƒned as an activating force or tendency that directs and ampliƒes, initiates and terminates, coordinates and delineates, current mental and physical functioning toward a valued outcome of action. More simply, motivation can be thought of as an individual’s inclination to allocate his or her personal resources (principally in the forms of time and effort) to a given task, and is a dynamic process that can be in“uenced by both the person and the environment.
