FROM DRIVE TO DELIVERY: A COMPREHENSIVE REVIEW OF MOTIVATION'S INFLUENCE ON JOB PERFORMANCE

Abstract

Motivation, originating from the Latin term "motus" denoting influence, impetus, and stimulation, encompasses the extent to which an individual is stimulated or inclined to take action. It encompasses a series of psychological mechanisms that kindle an individual's drive, orientation, and unwavering commitment towards achieving a specified objective. In the realm of organizational dynamics, employee motivation has emerged as a focal point of extensive scholarly inquiry in recent decades, underscoring its potential to underpin the vitality of global enterprises. This is underscored by motivation's pivotal role as a catalyst for reinforcing desired and anticipated behaviors within organizational contexts (Benabou & Tirole, 2006).
