There are primarily two forces which cause people to act or react in certain ways. We will take a look at both of these forces because they can both be effective in behavior and managing organizations toward a desired goal.

Inward motivation is often a very strong force, often difficult to change and sometimes slow to develop. Long-lasting changes result from inward motivation. Motivation can be influenced by one or several factors. Motivation in job performance may well be influenced by situations which are completely unrelated to the job. Because of the very personal nature of motivation, it may be hidden from the eye of the casual observer or disguised by the employee.
