Psychologists have different theories on motivation and emotion. How do all of these theories explain human motivation systems?

Motivation is a state-of-mind, filled with energy and enthusiasm, which drives a person to work in a certain way to achieve desired goals. Motivation is a force which pushes a person to work with high level of commitment and focus even if things are against him. Motivation translates into a certain kind of human behaviour.

We often see motivation as something that stimulates a person to act and behave to achieve a desired goal, while emotion is the feelings that emerge from the motive or drive itself, from the actions caused by the motive and from the achievement or failure of the desired goal.

In this chapter we will discuss on four foundational theories of motivation which include: Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs, Herzberg's Two-Factor Theory, McClelland's Three Needs Theory, and McGregor's Theory X, Theory Y.
