Document Summary
There are 3 general sources of motivation: the individual, the organization, and their interaction. These four points set forth a comprehensive theory of motivation. Motivation level comes from a combination of forces. Various assignments provide individuals with different motivational personalities. Leadership behavior bonds the individual and the work environment. We make decisions and have a great deal of control. When officers are not motivated, they tend to produce at the minimum level. If managers understand the needs of individuals under their command, the proper leadership style and reward structure can be developed to enhance productivity.
