    Hi Amila. Good initiative and many contemporary authors have also defined the concept of motivation. Motivation has been defined as: the psychological process that gives behavior purpose and direction (Kreitner, 1995)

    Agree with you Amila. Motivation has psychological as well as managerial significance. Motivation, in its psychological sense, refers to a person's internal mental state that is related to the initiation, direction, persistence, intensity, and termination of behaviour. The management definition of motivation, on the other hand, refers to the activity of managers and leaders to encourage others to accomplish results desired or described by the organization or by the manager, and which adheres to a relationship between motivation, ability, and performance (Tosi et al, 2000).

      Agree with you Janakan. Further, According to Guest (2004), for the psychological contract to be a suitable tool for analyzing the employment relationship, it needs to realize the employment relationship is a two-way exchange, with the focus of promises and obligations of both parties.

    Amila, you are correct. Job satisfaction is defined as "a significant factor in generating emotions of fulfillment through promotions, recognition, pay, and goal attainment" (Ausloos and Pekalski, 2007). Job satisfaction, according to George and Jones (2008), is a combination of feelings people experience about their jobs. Job satisfaction, in particular, is proven to influence motivation, staff performance, and retention, all of which influence the successful implementation of health-care reform (Wang et al., 2017). Workplace motivation necessitates a positive work environment, which does not arise by accident.

    Motivation is contagious. It is often said that if you are not motivated yourself, you cannot motivate others. There are a number of motivational theories that are essentially complementary. The most prominent theories are those dealing with expectation, goal setting, and justice, which are classified as process or cognitive theories.
