Purpose – Motivation is a widely explored topic and numerous studies have been done to determine motivation importance and implementation. However, no studies have been identified that investigate what motivators are most important to physicians and if physician leaders agree with the importance physicians place on specific motivational aspects. The purpose of this paper is to investigate this missed management learning opportunity. Design/methodology/approach – A fully inclusive sampling of all (n=2,547) public-practice physicians and physician leaders (clinic and hospital employed, non-private practice) in Minneapolis and St. Paul Minnesota was conducted in the summer and fall of 2013. The surveys were sent in a link via a web survey software program by the study researchers. The surveys were anonymous and minimally intrusive, asking only for perspectives regarding the most important motivational elements by physicians and physician leaders. Findings – Generally, the responses were surprisingly similar between physicians and physician leaders. The two statistically different motivators – interesting work and job security – were ranked as more important by physicians than the physician leaders. This suggests that leaders should be more attentive to ensuring variety, challenge, and engagement is an active part of the physicians’ work. This also suggests that managers should emphasize and reinforce the fact that – if it is the case – jobs are secure and that staffing stability is a key goal for management. As Kovach (1987) suggests, as employees’ income increases, money becomes less of a motivator and as employees get older, interesting work becomes more of a motivator. Research limitations/implications – Conclusions and generalizations can be made about the population sampled. Practical implications – The two statistically different motivators – interesting work and job security – were ranked as more important by physicians than the physician leaders. This suggests that leaders should be more attentive to ensuring variety, challenge, and engagement is an active part of the physicians’ work. This also suggests that managers should emphasize and reinforce the fact that – if it is the case – jobs are secure and that staffing stability is a key goal for management. Social implications – As this study reveals, physicians have clear preferences when it comes to workplace motivation. It is not unreasonable then to determine that the more satisfied the employee, the better he or she will perform. Accordingly, the environment that managers create for their employees must be one that is constructive to positive energy. If employees feel happy when they are working, then they will be naturally encouraged to work, thus producing improved quality healthcare for patients. Originality/value – What are the most important motivators for physicians and do physician leaders understand what motivators are to enhance physician productivity, well-being, and morale? Answers to this question may be beneficial to designing leadership education that enhances the understanding of the impact effectively identified and effectively applied motivation techniques may have on employee behavior and attitudes. Insights will also benefit the design of motivational structures and methods in the healthcare workplace.

Motivation in software engineering is a complex topic. Cultural background is reported to be one of the factors moderating software engineers' motivation and project outcome. The authors conducted a survey with 36 software engineers from Finland to explore 1) the relationship between team motivation and project outcome, 2) factors that motivate Finnish engineers, and 3) how these motivational factors are related. The authors compare Finnish motivational factors with those identified in prior research. In addition they build a prediction model to identify the best indicators of team motivation for Finnish software engineers. Their results show that teamwork is the only culturally independent motivational factor. Having 1) a project manager with a clear vision (project manager vision) and 2) a project manager given full authority to manage the project (project manager authority) are also significant motivational factors among Finnish engineers. There are significant associations between some factors, e.g., customer involvement and staff appreciation. While these factors partially explain motivation in software engineering, cultural differences also play an active role in explaining team motivation. Their questionnaire needs to be updated to enable measurement of motivation for modern development practices such as agile development.

Motivation to learn a second language (L2) is considered a crucial individual factor in explaining success or lack thereof in second language learning. This study examined learners’ motivation to learn Chinese as a second language (L2). The study was longitudinal and cross-sectional. Interviews were conducted with learners at different year levels over the course of a university semester to analyse motivation to choose a particular L2, how motivation changes over time, and factors contributing to that change. The study found that motivation is diverse, complex, and undergoes many fluctuations. Motivation to begin language study was related to both past L2 learning experiences and personal goals. Once language study began, factors related to the learning environment were the most important factors to impact on motivation, and were also most likely to demotivate learners. However, when learners had a clear future image of themselves as speakers of the L2, they were able to continue motivating themselves, regardless of the demotivation stemming from their learning environment. These findings lend some support for Dörnyei’s (2005, 2009) L2 Motivational Self-System theory, which highlights the importance of the ideal L2 self as a powerful motivator to learn an L2.

Full textAbstract:
This study examines Chinese EFL learners’ motivation at different educational levels and their perceptions of teacher-related motivators. The questionnaire survey and follow-up interview were administrated among students from junior high schools, senior high schools and universities, and the results reveal the impact of teachers’ perceived commitment on students’ motivational level together with the most motivating teacher factors identified by three student groups. With the English learning experience accumulating, students tend to place less value on teachers’ emotional support whereas rate teaching competence as the key factor for their motivation. Also, striking findings related to learners’ motivation at the tertiary level have been elucidated: first, compared with young learners, university students not only do not think that teachers’ commitment would exert much influence on their motivation but also show a tendency to follow this belief in action. Second, teachers’ capacity for knowledge transfer is rated highest by them as the most crucial motivator rather than the communicative teaching style, which is instead overwhelmingly prioritized by secondary school learners. Based on these findings, recommendations on motivational instruction for English teachers at different levels of education are suggested.

Full textAbstract:
Food safety training has been the primary avenue for ensuring food workers are performing proper food handling practices and thus, serving safe food. Yet, knowledge of safe food handling practices does not necessarily result in actual performance of these practices. This research identified participating food service employees' level of agreement with four factors of motivation (internal motivations, communication, reward-punishment, and resources) and determined if respondents with different demographic characteristics reported different motivating factors. Data were collected from 311 food service employees who did not have any supervisory responsibilities. Intrinsic motivation agreement scores were consistently the highest of all four motivational factors evaluated and did not differ across any of the demographic characteristics considered. In contrast, motivation agreement scores for communication, reward-punishment, and resources did differ based on respondents' gender, age, place of employment, job status, food service experience, completion of food handler course, or possession of a food safety certification. In general, respondents agreed that these motivation factors influenced their likelihood to perform various safe food handling procedures. This research begins to illustrate how employees' demographic characteristics influence their responses to various motivators, helping to clarify the complex situation of ensuring safe food in retail establishments. Future research into why employee willingness to perform varies more for extrinsic motivation than for intrinsic motivation could assist food service managers in structuring employee development programs and the work environment, in a manner that aids in improving external motivation (communication, reward-punishment, and resources) and capitalizing on internal motivation.

Full textAbstract:
Employee motivation is a prerequisite for the effective development of the potential of human resources. Therefore, motivation processes are important. The aim of the paper was to define the motivational priorities of white-collar employees in forest enterprises. Following the research results, cluster analysis statistical methods were used to define employee groups with similar motivations. The research was carried out in 11 forest enterprises with 195 total respondents. The results indicated that it is possible to create a unified motivation program with selected motivation factors for white-collar employees in forest enterprises. Defined groups had similar levels of motivation in individual motivation factors. Three significant motivation factors were determined: basic salary, working environment, and fair appraisal system. These motivation factors can be systematically implemented as a tool to improve the level of motivation of individual groups. It is important to consider that conditions and work environments change over time, so an effective motivation program must be updated regularly in order to produce sustained benefits.

Full textAbstract:
Motivation is a theoretical construct used to explain the initiations, direction, intensity, persistence and quantity of behaviour. It is an important determinant of learning and its outcomes, as expressed in academic performances. The proper study of motivational factors is a prerequisite for students’ effective motivation toward learning. So, a teacher should accept the effect of motivation in the instructional process and should keep knowledge of factors influencing motivation during the learning process. Hence, this study evaluates the factors affecting biology lesson motivation in secondary level students under quantitative research design. The sample of the study was randomly selected 200 students (51.5% girls and 48.5% boys) from grades nine and ten from five government-managed secondary schools. The research data was collected using a questionnaire developed by Glynn and Koballa (2006) as a science lesson motivation questionnaire and adapted by Ekici (2009) as a biology lesson motivation questionnaire. The data were analyzed by applying quantitative procedures using Statistical Program for the Social Sciences. The result generally indicates that students feel biology is an interesting subject with practical value relevant to their lives. Though the students were not confident on their Biology tests and were not receiving grade motivation, they were not greatly worried about the biology tests. Self-determination is the major motivating factor with the highest mean score of 4.170, followed by career motivation (3.890), intrinsic motivation, and personal relevance. Grade motivation has least role in Biology lesson motivation. Moreover, there is a significant correlation (r= 0.592) of intrinsic motivation and personal relevance with self-efficacy and assessment anxiety. There is low correlation between Self-efficacy and assessment anxiety and Self-determination but is significant.

Full textAbstract:
In the current study, we investigated the motivational status and underlying factors of the motivational changes among Japanese medical science students brought by the COVID-19 pandemic. Two groups of second-year undergraduate medical science students (training to become medical technologists and/or medical science researchers) participated in this study in the summers of 2020 and 2021 by writing essays describing how the pandemic had affected their motivation to study. A content analysis of the motivation status and underlying factors (both motivating and demotivating factors) was conducted before statistical analysis was used to investigate possible differences between the sexes and the two groups. In total, 73 essays were included in the analysis. The students had increased motivation to study in both groups (89% and 62%, respectively); however, in Group 2021, 19% of the students (all women) had decreased motivation. Among the underlying reasons behind the increased motivation, students showed a desire to help/save others, contribute to the development of medical science, increase knowledge, and disseminate correct information. The demotivating factors were largely linked to online learning and the negative emotions associated with lockdown. Our findings suggest that, for Japanese medical science students, the COVID-19 pandemic has been an overall motivating experience for our students. However, the prolonged pandemic and lockdown measures could attenuate this and be particularly disruptive for women.

Volunteer tourism is a vital formation of altruistic and sustainable tourism. This research is aimed to empirically find the relative importance of the motivation factors and the motivation realization factors for young tourists participating in the global volunteer tourism programs. The differences in the study variables across continents, gender, and frequency of participation were also scrutinized. A quantitative research approach that utilized the survey method was employed. The outcomes showed that personal development was the most vital motivator for global volunteer tourism. On the other hand, the young tourists felt that they most realized the factor of a new experience through their recent international volunteer tourism experience. The motivation factors and the motivation realization factors were consistent across the continents. Furthermore, the mean differences in the motivations, the motivations’ realization, satisfaction, and the behavioral intentions were revealed to be non-significant for the genders and the frequency of volunteer participation. By grasping the young volunteer tourists’ motivations and the experience evaluations, the volunteer programs can be advanced in consonance with their necessities and demands, which enhance the volunteer tourism experience.

Full textAbstract:
Studies around the world show that students’ motivation for learning English as a foreign language is usually interconnected with teachers’ motivation. To explore this relationship, this study investigated five Bangladeshi EFL teachers’ early language learning experiences, their visions of possible L2 selves, their motivations for becoming English teachers and the way they connect their visions with their classroom teaching for motivating students. This study employed L2 Motivational Self System (Dorney, 2005, 2009) as the theoretical framework. It was situated in the constructivist paradigm using a qualitative approach taking the form of a narrative enquiry. Data was collected from teachers’ language biographies and in-depth interviews. The thematic analysis of data revealed teachers’ considerable academic and socio-cultural challenges, their improved motivational states and visions of either ‘Ideal L2 Self’ or ‘L2 Learning Experiences’. Teachers with ‘Ideal L2 Selves’ were found more aware of generating students’ L2 vision. The study also found a considerable influence of social, economic, psychological, infrastructural, and cultural factors on teachers’ professional motivation and commitment. Therefore, the study has brought implications for addressing these factors at an institutional and political level to bring about attitudinal change towards teaching as a profession in Bangladesh.

Background: The article uses factor analysis to obtain an insight into the peculiarities of the motivation for physical improvement of students from the Faculty of Primary Education with different modes of attendance. Material and methods: Analysis and synthesis of references, surveying, psychological testing, pedagogical experiment, and methods of mathematical statistics were applied. The study involved 173 female students (18–22 years of age) of pedagogical profile with full- and part-time attendance. Results: The survey highlighted the motivational factors that affect the involvement of female students of pedagogical profile in physical improvement. The motivational factors for second- and fourth-year female students with full- and part-time attendance were emphasized separately. Based on the aforementioned data, factor analysis was conducted involving the abovementioned indicators. Conclusions: The data of the conducted study on the involvement of female students from the Faculty of Primary Education indicate that second- and fourth-year full-time female students have the motivation for “acquiring knowledge” and that for “mastering a profession”. By contrast, second- and fourth-year part-time female students demonstrate the motivation for “mastering a profession”. For fourth-year full-time female students, the difference in the motivations for “acquiring knowledge” and “mastering a profession”.

The objective of this study was to make a scientific description of motivation factors in maktab teaching by analyzing the attitudes of students, mualims and parents. We supposed that mualims use various strategies and actions to motivate their students. A method of theoretical analysis and a descriptive-analytical method were employed, while the following research instruments were used: 1) a survey exploring the factors students consider important for their motivation in maktab; 2) a survey analyzing the factors that mualims consider important for motivating students in maktab. 3) a nonstandardized interview with students, parents and mualims. The research sample comprised 65 maktab students, 20 mualims and 5 parents. The findings revealed that students are motivated to attend maktab, and that mualims pursue different strategies and take various actions to motivate their students. As a more relevant finding we emphasize the need for conducting research that would approach this phenomenon in a more focused and thorough way based on the segments of teaching process (taking into account all motivational teaching strategies), and by the use of a standardized research instrument, since some of the current findings raised many open issues related to the quality of motivation in maktab teaching.

One of the current areas of research is to study the motivation of doctors, analysis of life values and needs underlying the work be have our, identify factors that motivate and demotivate, study their working conditions and search for motivational factors. The process of motivation includes the creation of readiness for action, the choice of direction (goals), means and methods of action, place and time of action, assessment of the probability of success, the formation of confidence in the correctness and necessity of action. The following factors take part in the process of motivation: needs, motives, worldview, peculiarities of character and self-positioning, physical and mental abilities, functional and emotional states, experiences, knowledge about the environment and forecast of its changes.
Goal. Identify the main motivating factors that contributed to the choice of interns in the specialty «Anaesthesiology». Employees of the Department of Anesthesiology and Intensive Care FPDO LNMU named after Danil Galitsky conducted an anonymous survey of 72 interns who are trained in the specialty «Anesthesiology». In the questionnaires it was proposed to assess 12 motivational factors for doctors-interns to choose a specialty, which are grouped into 4 blocks.
Results and discussion. Analyzing the results of the study, it can be argued that the popularity and prestige of the specialty «Anaesthesiology» is the leading motive for most interns. Motivational factors are a conscious internal motivation of the intern to actively choose a professional activity, and in fact, the results of our study show that most respondents have a high level of professional orientation, and motivational factors serve as an indicator of the intern’s willingness and willingness to work. The analysis of personal data showed that the motivation of the choice of respondents is focused on professional and medical values and motivation of the individual to carry out medical activities and the realisation of their own motives.
Conclusions. The choice of interns in the specialty «Anaesthesiology» is due to a complex combination of different motivational factors, the formation of which is laid down during training at clinical departments. Most respondents have a high level of professional orientation, which will lead to further self-realisation in the chosen specialty.

Full textAbstract:
The prime purpose of this paper is to investigate the motivating factors that make university students participate in classroom activities and these factors correlate with their learning and grades. Furthermore, the study tried to identify whether intrinsic motivational factors drove them more to be part of in-class activities or extrinsic motivational factors. The topic under consideration required a qualitative case study with an exploratory design to identify these factors. The study was based at a renowned private sector university in Karachi. The research study used a purposive sampling method and gathered data by conducting semi-structured short interviews of students and faculty with some probing on the answers. The results led to a list of factors such as pedagogy, motivation, role of faculty attitude, role of student attitude, and marks-driven motivation. The findings support the notion that extrinsic motivators play a significant role in class participation of students at the tertiary levels.

Based on the motivation theory, this study aims to investigate the motivational orientations of the English learners from Management majors. 32 graduate students participated in the questionnaire and accomplished the interview in this research. Based on the statistics processed by SPSS, it is found that (1) instrumental orientation is significantly stronger than the integrative type; (2) among all the motivation items, the most three significant motivations are preparing for a future career, desiring to be a knowledgeable person and passing exams. Besides, based on the analysis of interview, a model of major-oriented, international and nested systems of instrumental motivation was constructed, indicating the interrelationship between motivational factors: globalization, social expectation, university policy, major needs and learner factors. It is expected that this study can provide some implications to English teaching to management students with the investigation of the systematic structure of their motivations.

Crowdsourcing contest is a typical case of crowdsourcing and has been adopted by many organisations for business solution and decision making. From a participant's perspective, it is interesting to explore what motivates people to participate in crowdsourcing contest. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the category of motivation based on self-determination theory and synthesises various motivation factors in crowdsourcing contest. Meanwhile, perceived motivational affordances and task granularity are also examined as the moderate constructs. Design/methodology/approach – The paper builds a conceptual model to illustrate the relationships between various motivations (extrinsic and intrinsic) and participation effort under the moderating of perceived motivational affordances and task granularity. An empirical study is conducted to test the research model by surveying the Chinese participants of crowdsourcing contest. Findings – The results show that various motivations might play different roles in relating to participation effort expended in the crowdsourcing contest. Moreover, task granularity may positively moderate the relationship between external motivation and participation effort. The results also show that supporting of a participant's perceived motivational affordances might strengthen the relationship between the individual's motivation with an internal focus (intrinsic, integrated, identified and introjected motivation) and participation effort. Originality/value – Overall, the research has some conceptual and theoretical implications to the literature. This study synthesises various motivation factors identified by previous studies in crowdsourcing projects or communities as a form of motivation spectrum, namely external, introjected, identified, integrated and intrinsic motivation, which contributes to the motivation literatures. Meanwhile, the findings indicate that various motivations might play different roles in relating to participation effort expended in the crowdsourcing contest. Also, the study theoretically extends the crowdsourcing participation research to incorporate the effects of perceived motivational affordances in crowdsourcing contest. In addition, the study may yield some practical implications for sponsors, managers and designers in crowdsourcing contest.

V Live is a live-streaming service made by South Korean IT company in August 2015. The service provides diverse video contents specific to entertainment content. Most of V Live users are K-pop fans, and they actively express emotions on V Live content by writing comments, pressing “hearts”, and sharing video content. Based on Uses and Gratifications theory, this study investigated why people use live streaming service, and the factors influencing users’ viewing behavior in live streaming. We conducted an in-depth interview with V Live users. Based on the results of the interview, an online survey was conducted. As a result, six factors—“Interpersonal relationship motivation”, “Social presence motivation”, “Celebrity support motivation”, “Celebrity presence motivation”, “Social interaction motivation”, and “Differentiation motivation”—were derived as motivations to use V Live. While “Social presence motivation” and “Differentiation motivation” among V Live use motivations that have been shown to mediate the relationship between fans’ fanship and V Live viewing time, all motivations using V Live have been shown to mediate the relationship between fans’ fanship and V Live viewing participation.

There are many theories about motivation. Different scholars have tried to find out why some people want to work and some do not, why some people are better than others and what motivates them to achieve results. There is one but a very simple recipe on how to motivate people. The motive depends on the individual, the situation or the people with whom we are working. Motivation theories can only be used as a tool. But commanders need to know when and how to use the right tool (theory).Motivation is a very specific topic and not very elaborate among us. Therefore, we took the courage to choose this subject as a course. In order to make the work as rich as possible we have used different literature."To win competitive advantage and survive in the global economy, managers must motivate their employees. Motivation is a complex psychological process in which demands and desires create driving forces that aim at achieving goals.

Full textAbstract:
The level of teachers’ engagement can be a significant measure of efficiency in the workplace. Thus, determining the factors that affect teachers’ engagement is as essential as achieving institutional goals. Along with these concerns, the researcher aimed to determine what motivational factors and which scope of school culture are predictors of teacher engagement. The study utilized quantitative survey design to determine the relationship of the variables. Specifically, descriptive analysis, bivariate correlation and multiple regression were conducted to determine the relationship between demographic profile and each of the dimensions of motivational factors, and school culture to teacher engagement, respectively. Data were collected by administering a survey questionnaire to teachers in Elementary, Junior, and Senior High School in selected schools in Metro Manila. Findings revealed that Filipino teachers went into teaching primarily for external motivation, specifically job security. The least motivating factor is also an external motivation dimension which is on the policies of the organization. School culture is positively correlated to teacher engagement. The predictors of teacher engagement are internal motivation, unity of purpose and collegial support. Even if some teachers feel the dwindling motivation in teaching, a school culture where teachers support each other can still become engaged. Therefore, education leaders should foster a culture that is focused on teachers who genuinely support each other. A school culture where there is unity of purpose in any endeavor leads to develop teachers to be highly engaged in the profession.

Full textAbstract:
The article is aimed at studying the regularities of labor behavior of the individual and determining the directions for diagnosing the motivation of employees of different levels of management. The article analyzes contemporary theories of motivation: meaningful, process and field theories. The regularities of theories of motivation are determined and directions of diagnostics of personnel motivation are proposed in accordance with the identified patterns. According to meaningful theory of motivation, a person’s behavior is determined by his unmet needs; according to the process theory – one’s expectations and subjective assessments related to a particular situation and the possible consequences of its chosen type of behavior; according to the field theory – one’s personal characteristics and environmental factors (organizational culture, social environment). In this regard, the diagnostic instrumentarium for motivating staff should ensure that information about the list of needs and their hierarchy is obtained; subjective valuations of employees as to the significance and fairness of remuneration, its compliance with the efforts spent, the complexity of work, etc., further the motivational impact of organizational culture and leadership on the labor behavior of personnel be determined. The expediency of using the «Motivational Profile» questionnaire by S. Ritchie and P. Martin to determine the actual needs of the staff is substantiated; an authors’ own questionnaire was developed to obtain assessments of managers regarding the factors of motivation, as identified in the process theories of motivation and theories of the «field». The application of the «Motivational Profile» allows to determine the most significant factors of staff motivation, including the following: material encouragement, recognition, interesting and useful work, self-improvement and the desire for achievements. The authors’ questionnaire made it possible to identify the relationship between effort, result and reward. The results of the performed questionnaire survey of employees show that the system of remuneration of personnel is outdated, labor contributions significantly exceed the remuneration received, the social environment ambiguously affects their motivation. The obtained results helped to determine the problem areas in the motivation of managers, which in the future will allow to form an effective mechanism for motivating management personnel.

AbstractThe commonality in neural mechanism (transmitter and brain region) underpinning stereotypy and that associated with motivation of goaldirected behaviours lends support to the idea that the former is derived from the latter. Hughes and Duncan postulated this theory behaviourally within their proposed 1988 model of motivation. This review re–interprets the Hughes and Duncan model to neurochemically describe the motivational development of stereotypic behaviour in the horse.

Participants were 83 students (36 men and 47 women). 10 intrinsic-extrinsic factors involved in sport motivation were obtained. The factors were generated from items obtained from the participants rather than items from the experimenter. This was done to avoid the possible influence of preconceptions on the part of the experimenter regarding what the final dimensions may be. Obtained motivational factors were Social Reinforcement, Fringe Benefits, Fame and Fortune, External Forces, Proving Oneself, Social Benefits, Mental Enrichment, Expression of Self, Sense of Accomplishment, and Self-enhancement. Each factor was referred to an intrinsic-extrinsic dimension to describe its relative position on that dimension. The order of the factors as listed indicates increasing intrinsic motivation, i.e., the first four factors were rated in the extrinsic range, whereas the remaining six were rated to be in the intrinsic range. Next, the participants rated the extent to which each of the various factors was involved in their decision to participate in sport activities. The pattern of use of the motivational factors was the same for both sexes except that men indicated greater use of the Fringe Benefits factor. Overall, the more intrinsic a sport motivation factor was rated, the more likely it was to be rated as a factor in actual sport participation.

Abstract In recent years, the motivation of translators has attracted attention from TS scholars but there is a clear gap about the Chinese context. This paper explores the motivating factors of a Spanish-Chinese fansubbing group of volunteer translators that constitute a community nicknamed The Burrow. It probes into their perceptions in relation to their task and the public, and hints at the possible link between motivation, collaborative translation, and audiovisual content production by fans. A netnographical method was adopted for data gathering, via two questionnaires, a self-designed open-probe survey (OPS) and a modified version of the Volunteer Function Inventory (VFI) proposed by Clary et al (1998). Most fan translators think of themselves as consumers-producers and show traits similar to those of their readers. They believe producing content by themselves is related to higher motivation and also consider a relation between collaborative translation and higher motivation to exist. Self-determination theory was used for the analysis of motivations, and the emerging key motivating factors were understanding, enhancement and values. Passion and attaining experience were the two most important motivators before starting to fansub, and finding friends and having a volunteering platform were the two key motivating factors after becoming fansubbers.

Successful women entrepreneurs are recognized through their strong motivation, desire, and capabilities to enhance economic development and increase entrepreneurial diversity in a range of various economic contexts. Motivation comprises biological, emotional, social, and cognitive components that drive behavior and agribusiness entrepreneurship. Given the important role played by women in contributing to the development of entrepreneurial activities in agribusiness, this study therefore aims to examine the motivating factors for women involved in agricultural entrepreneurship and entrepreneurial development in agribusiness. An online survey was conducted among women entrepreneurs in Malaysia, and descriptive analysis and multiple regression analyses were employed to analyze the data quantitatively. The findings revealed that women in the study area mostly received support from implicit and explicit motivation, such as psychological characteristics and competencies to achieve their business goals and boost their efforts in uplifting economic wellbeing and developing the agribusiness sector. Women who engaged in community development were highly influenced by connections and attitude motivational patterns that predict entrepreneur behavior. Hence, activities that led to increased motivation for women to improve their competency, power, and involvement in agribusiness should be fully supported. These factors enhanced job creation and built their credibility in agricultural entrepreneurship development.

Although past studies have begun to explain the unknowns about the shopping processes of individuals, it is still not possible to fully understand the consumer's mind. Every study on consumer behavior contributes to the literature in order to eliminate this unknown. This study, which was conducted to seek an answer to the question "Which indicator affecting the purchasing behavior of consumers is more effective in which hedonic shopping motivation?", was prepared by using DEMATEL technique, one of the decision-making methods, in order to solve the confusion that consumers experience while making their purchasing decisions. In order to understand how the indicators affecting the purchasing behavior of consumers are positioned according to their hedonic shopping motivations, data were collected from individuals who have recently preferred the products on the hedonic product list. The analysis continued by segmenting both the hedonic shopping motivations and the indicators affecting the purchasing behaviors of the participants. Calculating any hedonic shopping motivation above 3 (for likert of 5) was interpreted to mean that the participant had the relevant motivation. Similarly, a hierarchy was obtained in the indicators affecting the purchasing behavior of consumers according to the answers given by the participants. For the participants who were determined to have hedonic shopping motivation, the effects and importance of the indicators affecting the purchasing behavior of consumers were calculated with the help of DEMATEL analysis. With this method, the direction of causality between the indicators affecting purchasing behavior was also revealed. According to the results of the research, the importance statistics of the indicators in the motivation of individuals to shop to socialize and to shop to get ideas were calculated high compared to other motivations. While the perception of prestige has the highest impact value in the motivation to shop to seize opportunities; self-perception was calculated as the indicator with the highest impact value in all other hedonic shopping motivations. This method, which can be used to reveal patterns that cannot be understood through direct observation, was used within the framework of hedonic shopping motivations in the study. It is suggested that the DEMATEL research method used in this study can be used in future research where it can be used to reveal different elements affecting consumer psychology.

L2 de-motivation has considerable role in diminishing or slowing down the second/L2 (English) learning outcomes. However, L2 de-motivation in general and the context of Pakistan in particular is under-researched. So, the main purpose of the study is to identify various L2 de-motivational factors of the BS Undergraduate L2 learners of the Department of English of a remote and under-researched Kohat University of Science and Technology, Khyber Pakhtunhwa, Pakistan. Drawing upon the questionnaires of the well referenced L2 de-motivation experts and also adding some items related to gender and anxiety oriented L2 de-motivation, a modified closed ended questionnaire of 40 items was developed. The data was obtained from 400 (250 Male and 150 Females) L2 learners was analysed by applying the rarely used but much recommended exploratory factor analysis. Total 08 L2 de-motivational factors emerged: Teacher, syllabus, non communicative methods, L2 anxiety, lack of classroom resources, unfavourable classroom environment and rarely noted gender related L2 de-motivational factors. Moreover, in this study in contrast to earlier studies in Pakistan, we are able to not only identify the various L2 de-motivational factors in well defined forms but also construct and validate the modified questionnaire with the help of applying factor analysis. Thus the questionnaire can be exploited for future research in field of L2 de-motivation in general and particularly in Pakistan. Similarly, unlike the earlier studies, learners' negative attitudes towards English and learning its culture did not emerge as a L2 de-motivational factor. Moreover, new but equally contesting gender related L2 de-motivational factor also emerged. This study highlights that L2 teachers should adopt motivating teaching methods, interesting teaching materials and develop interesting syllabus. Moreover, L2 learners' needs analysis be given more importance for addressing their L2 de-motivation and thus enhancing their language proficiency in the Higher Education in Pakistan.

The article analyzes the factors and causes of the state of demotivation to work among employees of organizations. The author emphasizes the importance of employee motivation for the success of modern organizations and the undesirable consequences of its absence, which acquire the features of an organizational disease. Demotivation is considered by the authors as a decrease in motivation due to the influence of various circumstances. The factors that demotivate employees are analyzed and the probable causes of their occurrence are listed. The article highlights the personal and organizational groups of demotivation factors. Personal factors include chronic dissatisfaction with the dominant needs of employees; incentives used in organizations that become in reality limiting factors; changes occurring in the personal motivational complexes of employees; personal perception by employees of the actions of the organization’s managers as unfair. Organizational factors include unclear division of functions and implemented work processes between employees, unclear organization structure, low manageability of the organization, unclear goals, unreliability of decisions, widely used demotivating management style with a predominance of punishments over rewards, disrespect and neglect of employees. The article considers the employee’s motivational complex, consisting of internal motivation, external positive and external negative motivation, and determines the optimal motivational complex. Attention is paid to the demotivation process, the orientation of employee motivation. The differences in the general motivation of the employee for any actions and the labor motivation of the employee are determined. The necessity of analyzing the motives of people’s behavior in the working environment is emphasized. The article notes the need to distinguish between the real and declared motives of employees, to identify the deep needs, interests and values of people to prevent the state of demotivation.

Abstract Membership is a critical feature of the survival of customer-driven organizations. As a membership-driven organization based on neighbors helping neighbors, many Villages express difficulty in having enough members and lack confidence in sustainability. This is the first study examining the association between length of membership and motivation for becoming a Village member. ShareCare, the first Village, was founded in 1994. We used an open-ended questionnaire to gather information from a representative sample of current Sharecare members (N=100). Three researchers were involved in coding responses with discrepancies resolved via collaborative discussion. Length of membership was categorized as: less than 10-years, and more than a 10-year membership. Motivations to join membership in ShareCare were categorized as: instrumental, social, and altruistic. We conducted three separate logistic regressions with covariates controlled to examine associations between length of membership and various motivations to become a ShareCare member. While the most frequent reason for joining was instrumental where the member would receive service (e.g., care coordination, and home visit), the least motivation for joining was altruism, where the member could help other members (e.g., running errand, and lawn care). More than a 10-year membership was not associated with social or instrumental motivation to join ([OR] 0.50, p = 0.27, [OR] 0.94, p = 0.95) whereas more than a 10-year membership was associated with altruistic motivation to join ([OR] 5.31, p = 0.02). Our findings provide guidance regarding motivating members to join and maintain membership in a consumer-driven organization.

A descriptive survey design was adopted and the population consisted of 120 women entrepreneurs, out of which 100 women were selected in Lagos State through simple random sampling technique. Data generated through questionnaire were analysed using frequency distribution, mean, standard deviation, Pearson Product Moment Correlation, F-statistics and multiple regression (R2) analysis at 0.05 level of significance. The finding revealed that motivational factors are positive on women entrepreneurs (r=.352**, P(.000)<.01). It is concluded that there are motivational factors such as competence motivation, affiliation motivation, incentive motivation and power motivation to mention but few that drive women to engage in entrepreneurship in Nigeria. It is recommended that women entrepreneurs should use those factors that motivate them to take up entrepreneurship to encourage other women to participate either fully or partially in entrepreneurship process.

PURPOSE: Assessing motivation and motivation-related factors will contribute to a better understanding of motivation and the development of optimal rehabilitation conditions. The purpose of this study was to determine the motivation level and investigate the relationship of motivation level with socio-demographic characteristics (i.e., age, gender, comorbidities), functional level, and family satisfaction with rehabilitation centers in children with disabilities. METHODS: Sixty-two children with disabilities were included in the study, and the socio-demographic characteristics were recorded. Children were assessed by the Pediatric Motivation Scale (PMOT) and the Pediatric Functional Independence Measure (WeeFIM). Also, parents were asked to complete a questionnaire titled, “A patient satisfaction instrument for outpatient physical therapy clinics.” RESULTS: The mean age of the children was 12.16 ± 3.19 years. Total PMOT and WeeFIM scores were found to be 93.71 ± 9.66 and 108.23 ± 22.14, respectively. There was a positive correlation between children’s PMOT score and the satisfaction score of their families that was statistically significant (r= 0.602, p< 0.05). CONCLUSION: The level of family satisfaction with rehabilitation centers was found to be positively correlated with the motivation level of children. Improving family satisfaction with rehabilitation centers, potentially through modifying the physical conditions of rehabilitation centers and focusing on the interest of the family, may increase the motivation level of children, and thus may improve rehabilitation outcomes.

The present research verified the role motivational factors play in the learning process, using an undergraduate Natural Sciences course. The overall aim was to evaluate the motivation of these students, determine if motivation varied with the number of years of university attended and identify which motivational factors influence the learning of Natural Sciences. In total, 73 students, during different course offerings from 2012 to 2017, participated in the research, which corresponded to 56.5% of the total enrollment from that time frame. A questionnaire, which was organized into two parts, was employed for data collection, and scored using the Likert scale. In the first part, the following motivational factors were assessed: intrinsic motivation, self-determination, career motivation, self-efficacy and grade motivation. In the second part, the teaching strategies and activities utilized during the course were evaluated with regards to their motivational character. It was found that a majority of students were motivated and that the level of motivation increased throughout the course, being driven by intrinsic factors, that indicated that the students were trying harder to learn scientific concepts, rather than seeking approval and rewards. Furthermore, it was found that participation in projects was the most motivational activity, followed by the academic week and internships.

Full textAbstract:
An approach to improve municipal company’s motivation system to impower its economic security is proposed in the article. The approach is based both on division of motivative factors into three groups (tangible, intangible and intrinsic) and on reveal of correlation between the importance of an exact group of motivative factors (dependable feature) and such individual-psychological characteristics of employee’s personality, as the level of extra / introversion and neuroticism (undependable features).
The importance to improve the performance of the municipal company’s motivation system because of the number and origin of threats it faces in the process of its activity is substantiated. It is shown that the unsatisfactory level of efficiency of activity of state-owned enterprises, their economic security, as a consequence, - waste of resources of the territorial community is explained, in particular, by the low level of motivation of work in such organizations.
It was found that, despite close attention to the problem of motivation in the scientific works of domestic and foreign researchers, the tools of effective management were mostly developed for the private sector. Improving management in budgetary institutions is by borrowing methods and techniques from private sector.
It is shown that for a municipal company an effective system of motivation must be built taking into account such factors that employees perceive as really important in the process of meeting their sound needs, taking into account the limited budget.
Applied tools for monitoring motivative factors, division them into groups (tangible, intangible, intrinsic), forming a list of the most meaningful factors using ABC-XYZ analyze are proposed. Due to the results of the analyze the structure of the most and the least meaningful factors of motivation for the organizational behavior of employees is descried.
Regression models which allow to forecast the importance of an exact group of motivative factors related to the employee’s level of extra / introversion and neuroticism have been formed.
The prospect of introducing a model of motivational controlling, which will allow to improve the efficiency of the functioning of the system of motivation by increasing the level of coordination of planning, accounting and analysis processes in order to ensure the economic security of the municipal company.

Background: Low level of health professionals’ work motivation is a critical challenge for countries’ health care system. A survey of ministries of health in many countries showed that low motivation was seen as the second most important health workforce problem after staff shortages. Objective: The aim of the study was to examine in detail the factors which can affect motivation and work engagement, to assess the motivation levels of personnel working in public hospitals and to identify any differences between the various categories of healthcare professionals employed at the 1st Regional Health Authority of Attica. Methods: Frederick Herzberg’s motivation-hygiene theory was used as the theoretical framework. Twelve phrases were used that correspond to intrinsic and extrinsic motivating factors, namely achievement, recognition, nature of work, responsibility, advancement, growth, organizational policies, supervision, interpersonal relationships, working conditions, salary and job security. Phrases 1-6 covered the internal motivators and 7-12 correspond to the external. Additional questions were added covering the socio-demographic characteristics of respondents. Results: The response rate was 81.95% and 3,278 questionnaires were collected. Findings suggest that extrinsic motivation factors have slightly higher mean scores (MS=8.30) than intrinsic motivation factors (7.81). The role of factors like salary (9.31), organizational policies (8.91), growth (8.89) and job security (8.86) was significant. However, every category of hospital staff is affected in a different way and degree by each factor. In periods of crisis, the need of extrinsic factors of motivation increased. Conclusions: Providing a motivating environment for employees becomes more fundamental in the healthcare system. Motivation of healthcare employees was affected by factors related to supervision, financial benefits, job training and growth. Efforts should be made to provide such benefits to health employees as appropriate especially, to those who did not get any such benefits. Officially recognizing best performance is suggested.

<p style="text-align: justify;">The present study aimed to investigate the relationship between students’ academic motivation, implicit beliefs about intelligence and learning strategies among undergraduate healthcare students. First-year students of healthcare degree courses from a university in Southern Italy were surveyed. The study measured psychological constructs by means of Academic Motivation Scale, Motivated Strategies for Learning Questionnaire, and Dweck’s implicit questions about beliefs of intelligence. Two regression models were computed to assess the association between students’ beliefs about intelligence, motivations for studying, and learning strategies. In the first regression model, predicting students’ use of cognitive strategies from implicit intelligence beliefs and motivations for studying, stronger autonomous motivations were significant predictors of cognitive strategies. The second regression model, predicting students’ use of metacognitive strategies from implicit intelligence beliefs and motivations for studying, was not significant. These findings can be useful to plan tailored educational interventions to promote students’ motivation, incremental beliefs about intelligence and their use of learning strategies positively related with academic performance.</p>

Full textAbstract:
Under the context of Education 4.0, motivation for language learning takes on a range of meanings and implications that are inextricably bound up with more socially meaningful contexts. Hence, the quality of motivation matters. It is imperative that EFL education make adjustments to strengthen learners’ motivation to achieve the desired learning outcomes and develop skills required in Education 4.0 era. Drawing on interdisciplinary knowledge of applied linguistics and organizational behavioral science, the current research explored the effects of team building-based instruction on EFL students’ motivation. The participants of the study were 84 undergraduate EFL learners at a Chinese university. Questionnaire and open-ended questions were employed to collect data. The results showed that, on average, participants reported high mean values for each of the motivation components, indicating that team building-based instruction played a positive role in motivating most students in the course. Nonetheless, students’ responses towards the components vary significantly, especially for the ‘interest’ scale and ‘usefulness’ scale. Several motivating factors that led to students’ motivation to engage in the course were identified: group dynamics, project design, technology, and assessment. The research concluded that team building-based instruction should take both linguistic factors and non-linguistic factors into consideration to fully motivate and engage students. In the end, the researcher proposed implications for motivational pedagogy and practices.

Full textAbstract:
The authors of this study sought to examine the job satisfaction and motivational level of high school teachers regarding the Hygiene and Motivator factors as identified by Herzberg and to find out the effect of fulfillment of Hygiene and Motivator factors on motivation of high school teachers. A questionnaire titled the quantitative data from Lester’s (1987) TJSQ assessment of teacher job satisfaction and Hoy et al. ’s (1991) OCDQ-RS assessment of school climate were used to collect data for the study. While the data for the study was analyzed using multiple statistical procedures: mean point value, standard deviation, and variance, t-test of significance and One-way-analysis of variance (ANOVA). A paper survey has been distributed to 198 respondents who are all actively involved in high school teaching in Isparta, Turkey. However, Frederick Herzberg's theory which states that what he terms hygiene (job context) factors contribute to dissatisfaction while motivator (job content) factors relate to satisfaction, the study indicates that both hygiene factors and motivation factors contribute to satisfaction and especially, hygiene factors were more satisfying factors in the high school teachers group.

Motivation is one of the factors that influence productivity. Project management plays a vital role in the success of projects in Qatar construction industry (QCI). It relies profoundly on the team’s active participation and effective performance. Hence it is important to assess the impact of motivation and demotivation on performance. The main objective of this paper is to identify the key factors that cause motivation and de-motivation in QCI. Literature review, surveys with experts and semi-structured interviews were conducted to identify these factors. Using these factors to conduct specific motivational programs will help improve productivity in QCI. Research on motivational factors impacting productivity has not been conducted in Qatar before, so this work will provide insight on how to deal with productivity issues that QCI faces ahead of a major world event that Qatar will host in 2022.

Abstract In 2019, the Harry Potter-themed augmented reality (AR) game Wizards Unite was released, one which employed the same game mechanics as Pokémon Go. In order to explore the similarities and differences in players’ perceptions, motivations to play, and missing functions in Wizards Unite and Pokémon Go, we conducted a web-based survey which targeted active players of Wizards Unite 14 weeks after its release. The results are compared to a survey applying the same methodology and questions directed at active players of Pokémon Go. An important reason why many players started playing Wizards Unite was that they were already Harry Potter fans. For Wizards Unite players the motivation stemming from public attention was lower compared to that for Pokémon Go players. The main motivating factors drawing players to these games include fun, curiosity, and being physically active. The AR function was not mentioned as a motivating factor for either game. The aspect of players being able to collect and complete the game was more of a motivation for playing Pokémon Go. Although the game mechanisms are similar, we identified specific differences in the motivational factors of the two games. The main difference is the misfit between the general game story with hunting and collecting within the Harry Potter universe. Nevertheless, the theme of the game and its background story can be important long-term motivating factors of Wizards Unite. The findings in this paper provide insights into how one can create AR games that meet players’ needs.
