Chapter 8

It is important for everyone to be motivated all the time in order to perform well. Motivation is the desire to achieve a goal, combined with the energy to work towards that goal. For example students who are motivated have a desire to study and complete the requirements of their course. It is the same in the real world where employees who are motivated do an excellent job while those who are lazy do not perform to their best. Companies are always working in different ways to keep their employees motivate by giving them good benefits, such as a good health plan, retirement benefits, and paying for education. By providing benefits, companies want to be sure that their employees are motivated to work for a company that gives then job security and also it keeps them working hard to grow the company.
