Motivation is an inferred process that causes an organism to move towards a goal. Abraham Maslow's hierarchy of needs identifies physiological, safety, belongingness, esteem, and self-actualization as five levels of human needs. Motivation comes from fulfilling lower level needs and moving up the hierarchy. Effective motivation techniques appeal to benefits, emotions, needs/wants, expertise, and include finding new skills, developing feedback, and rotating work. Goal setting should involve specific, measurable, attainable, relevant, and time-bound goals that are regularly reviewed and analyzed to improve progress toward success.
