Putting the Theories to Work

Content: It goes deeper than just a reason for acting or behaving. Motivation is a force that works within our minds. The various content theories attempt to consider what these forces are. From the Latin word "movere," which means to move and the late 19th century motive means internal drive, motivation is a force that actuates behavior (s) and provides the gas to move behaviors toward fulfillment of the drive. So motivation theory is concerned with why and how the actuating force is activated and how it works to accomplish its goal. Content theories of motivation are one of the types of motivation theory. In the field of organizational behavioral studies, there are two different categories called content theories (also known as need theory) and process theories. There is no universally accepted theory of motivation. This will consider the more prominent theory of motivation in the content category. Content Theory of Motivation
