What to Focus On

  • Motivation comes from the word motive.
  • It is based on human needs.
  • It causes goal-directed behaviour.
  • Motivation is psychological.
  • It is total and indivisible.
  • It is continuous, not one-time.
  • Motivation is individual; morale is group-based.
  • Motivation depends on needs and incentives.
  • Morale depends on relationships within the group.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Motivation and morale mean the same thing.

Monetary incentives are the same as non-monetary incentives, because both reward employees.

Job security is a monetary incentive because it helps employees earn money in the future.
