Motivation is derived from the Latin word 'movere', meaning to move or energize. It refers to the process of creating a desire or willingness to work among employees. Motivation means creating willingness to work more efficiently or exert high levels of effort towards organizational goals. There are several theories that describe motivation, including Maslow's hierarchy of needs theory, which arranges human needs in a pyramid structure from physiological to self-actualization needs. Herzberg's two-factor theory also distinguishes between motivator and hygiene factors in the workplace.
