Motivation is defined as the process that initiates, guides, and maintains goal-oriented behaviors. Motivation is what causes us to act, whether it is getting a glass of water to reduce thirst or reading a book to gain knowledge. (Cherry, 2016) Motivation plays the role in everyday lives.

This male is currently employed at ENE Systems as a buildings operator and works as a mechanic at Lucey’s Service Station on the weekends. He is a son, a brother to four siblings, and an uncle to three nieces and three nephews. I interviewed this male in his own home behind closed doors so there was no other input from outside sources. After obtaining his basic information, I asked him what he thought

Upon doing more research I found a website that names and explains 6 different types of motivation.

These motivations do not need to have an external stimulus. Malsow’s theory of the hierarchy of needs supports this with the top two tiers. Maslow’s hierarchy of needs is a pyramid of human needs in order of importance: physiological is the most basic of human needs which includes food, shelter and clothing. Human’s next need is safety- being safe in our environment and free from harm to our being. Next is a sense of belongingness and love, which is belonging to a family or a group of people we view as family. Fourth is esteem, or to have a positive view on one’s self and their accomplishments. Last is self-actualization and self-transcendence being the levels, where people are able to understand how they operate and make changes to their

Unlike intrinsic motivation where one performs an action for its own sake, extrinsic motivation is to obtain external reward and is influenced by external factors. This type of motivation is also highly

     Motivation comes from within, and can push someone into action, whether they actually want to or not. No one will do anything unless there is something pushing them from within to do it. An example is the quote 'But a fire burns in my heart. Under the ribs where pulses thud and flitting between bones of skull is the push, the endless mysterious

An effective interview starts by building rapport with the interviewee to make him or her feel comfortable. While doing that, the interviewer should ask simple questions, such as name, date of birth, and occupation, to obtain a baseline of how the interviewee reacts non-verbally. This baseline assessment is then used to gauge the interviewee’s reaction to more difficult questions about the issues being investigated to assess the veracity of the interviewee’s statements.
