online courses on Motivation Defined - Positive and Negative Motivation
Motivation is concerned with
inspiring the man to work to get the best result. Motivation may be of two
types: §
Positive §
Negative Positive motivation
In real sense, motivation means
positive motivation. Positive motivation induces people to do work in the best
possible manner and to improve their performance. Under this better facilities
and rewards are provided for their better performance. Such rewards and
facilities may be financial and non-financial. Negative motivation
Negative motivation aims at
controlling the negative efforts of the work and seeks to create a sense of fear
for the worker, which he has to suffer for lack of good performance. It is based
on the concept that if a worker fails in achieving the desired results, he
should be punished. Both positive and negative
motivation aim at inspiring the will of the people to work but they differ in
their approaches. Whereas one approaches the people to work in the best possible
manner providing better monetary and non-monetary incentives, the other tries to
induce the man by cutting their wages and other facilities and amenities on the
belief that man works out of fear.
