Motivation



motivation
Where does motivation come from? How do you get motivated to work or to do what ever?

I am doing a project in my psychology class and I have to figure out where motivation comes from. I have to figure out where motivation comes from in the work place. Does one get motivated by pay increases etc, or does motivmotivation come from other factors such as personal goals that one has set for ones self. What motivates you?

Please let me know what you think and why.

Well there are two types of motivation, extrinsic motivation, and intrinsic motivation. Extrinsic motivation is motivation that comes from outside an individual. Examples of that at work would be earning a paycheck, or getting a promotion. Intrinsic motivation is motivation that comes from inside an individual. Examples of that would be like self satisfaction at work, knowing that you can do good work, and you have the desire to do good work. I am motivated by both intrinsic and extrinsic motivation. At school i do good because i know if i do i will get a good job and be able to afford nice things in life. Also i do it because i like looking smart and having the ability to answer questions and help people do good in school.

Billy Ray’s Farm: Essays from a Place Called Tula


$12


In <I>Billy Ray’s Farm,</I> Larry Brown brings the appealing blend of candor, humor, and poignancy of his acclaimed novels <I>Fay</I> and <I>Father and Son</I> to nine personal essays that explore the emotional and physical landscape of the corner of Mississippi he calls home. The centerpiece of this collection offers a moving description of life on his son’s cattle farm, capturing Brown’s deep-seated attachment to his family and to the land. In other pieces, Brown takes readers inside the writing cabin he built, chronicles his attempt to outsmart a wily coyote intent on killing the farm’s baby goats, and reveals his reactions to being constantly compared to William Faulkner, a writer inspired by the same geography. Threaded through each piece are warm reflections on the Southern musicians and authors who influenced his writings.<P>At once entertaining and insightful, <I>Billy Ray’s Farm</I> brilliantly illuminates how a great writer responds, personally and artistically, to the patch of land he lives on, providing a wonderful look into the mysterious sources of a writer’s motivation.

 Columbus and the Quest for Jerusalem By Carol Delaney


Columbus and the Quest for Jerusalem By Carol Delaney


$12.99


<B>Five hundred years after he set sail, </B>Columbus is still a controversial figure in history. Debates portray him either as the hero in the great drama of discovery or as an avaricious glory hunter and ruthless destroyer of indigenous cultures. In <I>Columbus and the Quest for Jerusalem</I>, Carol Delaney offers a radically new interpretation of the man and his mission, claiming that the true motivation for his voyages is still widely unknown. Delaney argues that Columbus was inspired to find a western route to the Orient <I>not only </I>to obtain vast sums of gold for the Spanish Crown <I>but primarily </I>to fund a new crusade to take Jerusalem from the Muslims before the end of the world—a goal that sustained him until the day he died. Drawing from oft-ignored sources, some from Columbus’s own hand, Delaney depicts her subject as a thoughtful interpreter of the native cultures that he and his men encountered, and tells the tragic story of how his initial attempts to establish good relations with the natives turned badly sour. Showing Columbus in the context of his times rather than through the prism of present-day perspectives on colonial conquests reveals a man who was neither a greedy imperialist nor a quixotic adventurer, but a man driven by an abiding religious passion. <I>Columbus and the Quest for Jerusalem </I>is not an apologist’s take, but a clear-eyed, thought-provoking, and timely reappraisal of the man and his legacy.

 Creating Innovators: The Making of Young People Who Will Change the World By Tony Wagner


Creating Innovators: The Making of Young People Who Will Change the World By Tony Wagner


$12.99


<B>IN THIS GROUNDBREAKING BOOK, </B>education expert Tony Wagner provides a powerful rationale for developing an innovation-driven economy. He explores what parents, teachers, and employers must do to develop the capacities of young people to become innovators. In profiling compelling young American innovators such as Kirk Phelps, product manager for Apple’s first iPhone, and Jodie Wu, who founded a company that builds bicycle-powered maize shellers in Tanzania, Wagner reveals how the adults in their lives nurtured their creativity and sparked their imaginations, while teaching them to learn from failures and persevere. Wagner identifies a pattern—a childhood of creative play leads to deep-seated interests, which in adolescence and adulthood blossom into a deeper purpose for career and life goals. Play, passion, and purpose: These are the forces that drive young innovators. <P>Wagner shows how we can apply this knowledge as educators and what parents can do to compensate for poor schooling. He takes readers into the most forward-thinking schools, colleges, and workplaces in the country, where teachers and employers are developing cultures of innovation based on collaboration, interdisciplinary problem-solving, and intrinsic motivation. The result is a timely, provocative, and inspiring manifesto that will change how we look at our schools and workplaces, and provide us with a road map for creating the change makers of tomorrow. <P><I>Creating Innovators </I>will feature its own innovative elements: more than sixty original videos that expand on key ideas in the book through interviews with young innovators, teachers, writers, CEOs, and entrepreneurs, including Thomas Friedman, Dean Kamen, and Annmarie Neal. Produced by filmmaker Robert A. Compton, the videos are embedded into the ebook edition in video-enabled eReaders and accessible in this print edition via QR codes placed throughout the chapters or via www.creatinginnovators.com.

 Hard Men Humble: Vietnam Veterans Who Wouldn't Come Home By Jonathan Stevenson


Hard Men Humble: Vietnam Veterans Who Wouldn’t Come Home By Jonathan Stevenson


$17.95


<P>It is finally time to come to terms with a generation of underappreciated, now middle-aged men: America’s Vietnam veterans. In many ways they were no different from the men who left for Europe in 1917, or for Asia and Europe in 1942. They were young, freshly trained, scared yet determined soldiers. In <I>Hard Men Humble,</I> Jonathan Stevenson introduces us to a fascinating community of expatriate Vietnam veterans — the men who wouldn’t or couldn’t leave Southeast Asia, and could not leave behind the people they had fought and defended. Some were military heroes and remain unalloyed patriots. Some questioned or condemned the war and find their patriotism forever compromised by it. Some stayed behind in order to relive the best part of the war with girls, golf, and Singha beer at smoky saloons. Others were moved to atone for the war with charity — educating Thai children, building hospitals for the Vietnamese, or providing medical care to Laotians they had befriended when soldiers. Whatever each man’s motivation, the one attribute virtually all expat vets share is the desire to do what so many Americans don’t want them to do: remember the Vietnam War.<P><I>Hard Men Humble</I> brings a vivid cast of characters to life: Major Mark Smith, a much bemedaled winner of the Distinguished Service Cross and former prisoner of war who works out of Bangkok relentlessly searching for MIAs; Ken Richter, once a Jersey City tough, who discovered discipline and honor in Special Forces and who now donates much of his earnings to Southeast Asian charities; Robert Taylor, a former Green Beret from Alaska who formed a bond with a Lao tribe with which he worked, and who founded a medical charity for them; and Greg Kleven, an Oakland-born Force Recon marine who lost faith in the war and in his country, descended into dissoluteness and self-destructive drinking, and believes that moving to Ho Chi Minh City saved his life. The expatriate Vietnam veterans are, ultimately, just like any o

He especially hates that last Saturday night. He has spent years on the police force confronting it, avoiding it, and cursing it, but most of the time he still gets caught up in it. Nevertheless, this is an honored tradition of Scotland, and a happy one at that. But amid the blaring noise created by the music, laughter, and toasts of “<I>Slainte</i>” as glasses of whiskey are swilled, another tradition—one older than music, happiness, and drink itself—has traveled to Edinburgh and nested itself in the medieval quarter of Mary King’s Close. There, beneath the streets of Edinburgh, Inspector Rebus finds the lifeless body of Billy Cunningham swinging from a butcher’s hook and knows that his problems have only begun.<P>When Big Ger Cafferty, the ruthless gangster whose sphere of influence extends well beyond the bars that the Inspector himself put him behind, discovers that Bill, his only son, has been brutally murdered, Rebus finds himself with more motivation than his duty can provide to find Billy’s killer. But when the police pathologist reports that the young man was killed by professional hands, Rebus finds himself up against a force that could frighten Big Ger himself.

 On Leadership By John Gardner


On Leadership By John Gardner


$18.95


Of the grave problems challenging America today — from the environment to troubled youth to international economic competition — none is more critical, or more relevant to all these issues, than our crisis of leadership. Drawing on an intensive five-year field study of organizations and interviews with hundreds of contemporary leaders, John W. Gardner provides a brilliant, searching examination of leadership as it is practiced, or malpracticed, in America today. He reaches beyond the customary cries for charisma to what he calls “the issues behind the issues” in leadership: the elements of motivation, shared values, social cohesion, and institutional renewal.<P>Some of the nation’s toughest problems have discernible solutions, but to mobilize the required resources and to endure the necessary sacrifices calls for a capacity to focus our energies and to sustain commitment. Effective leaders heighten both motivation and confidence. But their efforts are fruitless if fragmentation and divisiveness prevail. Leaders must revitalize our shared values and beliefs in order to accomplish effective group action.<P>Gardner argues persuasively that the increasing complexity of the large-scale systems that dominate modern society works to stifle motivation, and he shows how we can make those large-scale systems flexible and adaptive. It is essential to the vitality of such systems that initiative and responsibility be widely dispersed so that many individuals at all levels will be ready and willing to take leadership action to make their part of the system work.<P>Leaders must understand the needs of the people they work with — their needs at the most basic level for income, jobs, housing, and health care and their larger needs for a sense of community and mutual trust, for recognition and respect, and for new challenges and visions. The conventional wisdom asks followers to believe in their leaders; Gardner highlights a more searching question, whether leaders believe in the

Seven Days of Rage: The Deadly Crime Spree of the Craigslist Killer By Paul LaRosa and Maria Cramer


$7.99


The imminent murder trial of Philip Markoff will bring to light the many mysteries behind the secret life and unconscionable acts of the brilliant and well-liked Boston University medical student who came to be known as the Craigslist Killer: How did he conceal his dark side to all who knew him, even his sweet and trusting fiancée? If found guilty of a chain of violent crimes over the course of one week in 2009, including the murder of Manhattan model and masseuse Julissa Brisman in a Boston luxury hotel, what was his motivation? Why did he allegedly use Craigslist, the online bulletin board, to pick out his victims?

 Signature Killers By Robert Keppel


Signature Killers By Robert Keppel


$24.95


<P>In a real-life scenario straight out of <I>The Silence of the Lambs,</I> Robert Keppel went one-on-one with the notorious serial killer Ted Bundy, who advised Keppel on the detective’s highly publicized search for the elusive Green River Killer. Bundy’s chilling revelations were chronicled in <I>The Riverman,</I> “a page-turner” (Ted Montgomery, Detroit News) praised by Ann Rule as “the definitive book on serials.” But Ted Bundy wasn’t the first killer of his kind — or the last.<P><B>Signature Killers</B><P>They leave telltale identifiers, their gruesome “calling cards,” at the scenes of their crimes. They are driven by a primitive motivation to act out the same brutality over and over. With brilliant detection, high-tech analysis — and a little luck — they can be caught. But what does the signature killer seek from victim to victim? The answers are hidden among the grisly evidence, the common threads that link each devastating act.<P>Sparked by a growing concern over the steady rise of signature murders, Robert Keppel explores in unflinching detail the monstrous patterns, sadistic compulsions, and depraved motives of this breed of killer. From the Lonely Hearts Killer who hunted the most desperate of women in 1950s America, to the savage Midtown Torso Murders that stunned the NYPD, to such infamous symbols of evil as Jeffrey Dahmer, Ted Bundy, and John Gacy, these are the cases — horrifying, graphic and unforgettable — that Keppel ingeniously taps to shed light on the darkest corners of the pathological mind.

The Art of Happiness at Work By His Holiness the Dalai Lama and Howard C. Cutler M.D., Read by Howard C. Cutler M.D. and B.D. Wong


$29.95


For the first time since <I>The Art of Happiness,</I> His Holiness the Dalai Lama has teamed up with psychiatrist Howard Cutler to continue the discussion about what makes life meaningful. <P>In conversations with the Dalai Lama over the past several years, Howard Cutler has asked the questions we all want answered about how to find happiness in the place we spend most of our time — work. Beginning with the basic need to find satisfaction in our careers, Dr. Cutler questions His Holiness about the nature of work. In psychiatry and according to the Dalai Lama, our motivation for working determines our level of satisfaction. <I>The Art of Happiness at Work</I> explores these three levels of focus:<P>• Survival: focus on salary, stability, food and clothing• Career: focus on advancement• Calling: focus on work as a higher purpose<P>Dr. Cutler probes the Dalai Lama’s wisdom by posing these questions: What is the relationship between self-awareness and work? How does lack of freedom at work affect our levels of happiness? How can we deal with boredom or lack of challenge? Job change and unemployment? How much of our misery comes from our identity being tied up with work? <P>Dr. Cutler walks us through the Dalai Lama’s reasoning so that we may know how to apply his wisdom to daily life. <I>The Art of Happiness at Work</I> is an invaluable source of strength and peace for anyone who earns a living.

Drawing on the revelatory results of a landmark study, William Damon — one of the country’s leading writers on the lives of young people, whose book <I>Greater Expectations</i> won the Parents’ Choice Award — brilliantly investigates the most pressing issue in the lives of youth today: why so many young people are “failing to launch” — living at home longer, lacking career motivation, struggling to make a timely transition into adulthood, and not yet finding a life pursuit that inspires them.<P> His groundbreaking study shows that about one-fifth of youth today are thriving — highly engaged in activities they love and developing a clear sense of what they want to do with their lives — but approximately one-fourth are still rudderless, at serious risk of never fulfilling their potential. The largest portion are teetering on the brink, in need of guidance to help them move forward: some are “dabblers” who pursue strings of disconnected interests with no real commitment; others, “dreamers” who have no realistic plans or understanding of what success will require.<P> What makes the difference? Damon shows that the key ingredient for the highly engaged is that they have developed a clear sense of purpose in their lives that motivates them and gives them direction. Based on in-depth interviews, he takes readers inside the minds of the disengaged and drifting kids and exposes their confusion and anxiety about what they should do with their lives. He then offers compelling portraits of the young people who are thriving and identifies the nine key factors that have made the difference for them, presenting simple but powerful methods that parents and all adults can and must employ in order to cultivate that energized sense of purpose in young people that will launch them on the path to a deeply satisfying and productive life.

Tiki: My Life in the Game and Beyond By Tiki Barber, with Gil Reavill


$12.99


Tiki Barber, former running back for the New York Giants and current <I>Today</i> show correspondent, has seemingly led a charmed life. Whether on the field or in front of the camera, the Smiling Giant makes everything look easy. But it has taken a lot of motivation, hard work, and help from those around him to get where he is today. <P>Here, he recounts his extraordinary life to date — being raised in semirural Virginia alongside his twin brother, Ronde, by a strong single mother who made every sacrifice to make sure her boys had all the tools they needed to succeed in life; getting drafted in 1997 by the Giants, where he eventually became a standout running back after overcoming injuries and flaws in his game with the help of his coaches and teammates; his stellar 2005 season, when he finished the year with 2,390 yards from scrimmage (the second-highest total in NFL history); and the controversies that marred the Giants’ 2006 season, including the surprise announcement of his retirement at the age of thirty-one. <P>As much as <I>Tiki</i> takes you into the locker room, past the sidelines, and onto the field to give you the view from inside the huddle, this book is also an inspirational look at his arduous evolution from ordinary player to elite — on the field and off — and at the amazing people along the way who have helped him achieve his goals. Tiki takes on the role of both the interviewer and the interviewee in special “Tiki Interviews Tiki” sections, as he asks and answers the really tough questions. <I>Tiki</i> is a riveting, inspiring read for all who want to know what really goes on behind the scenes, and for anyone looking for the strength to step up and follow his or her dreams.

 Working Leader: THE TRIUMPH OF HIGH PERFORMANCE OVER CONVENTIONAL MANAGEMENT PRINCIPLES By Leonard R. Sayles


Working Leader: THE TRIUMPH OF HIGH PERFORMANCE OVER CONVENTIONAL MANAGEMENT PRINCIPLES By Leonard R. Sayles


$14.99


Schooled to oversee fixed, almost unvarying routines, managers today are unprepared to manage the conflicts in modern work flow relationships. The demand for more and quicker responsiveness to customers, market, product, and process changes means there are few “routine” technologies left to manage. The modern line manager, according to Sayles, must be a “working leader,” managing work flow relationships on the boundaries between jobs, functions, departments; making things “work” through trade-offs with superiors and peers. The working leader has an agenda, knows the system inside out, is comfortable with fluidity, and recognizes that the parts do not always fit into an integrated whole.<P>The recent emphasis on “core competencies” and “operating capabilities” as keys to competitive advantage represents a radical shift away from the presumption that business leadership is primarily about strategic decisions. Corporate success, Sayles insists, now depends upon execution, implementation, and expertise. In the past managers presumed that work systems were programmed to be efficient; now astute managers recognize that extraordinary efforts are required to attain and maintain effective operations.<P>Sayles shows with vivid case studies how middle managers with an in-depth understanding of the organization can resolve the inherent contradictions and ambiguities among design, sales, and manufacturing. He also shows that while many companies are instilling “customer consciousness” and “quality consciousness” as compartmentalized activities, <I>effective</I> management of work systems automatically leads to high performance in quality, efficiency, and service. By facilitating high performance, hands on working leaders can increase the sense of responsibility and motivation of subordinates. Finding solutions to inconsistencies and dilemmas in work systems forces managers to become real leaders. Checking the interfaces and making modifications where necessary — managing on the
