Abstract

Motives are key to human behavior. It plays an important role in performance and other activities and as such the manager should know what motivation is and how subordinates can are motivated towards performance. This study investigates the role of motivation on employees’ performance as the history of explaining human or animal behavior is not new.”why did one do what one did “had been the subject of working even in the past, some human behavior was explained as an outcome of demos impedance and this explanation was unscientific. Efforts were also made to determine principles which could explain human behavior. McDougall emphasized that man's social behavior can be explained in terms ofinstincts which was later on criticized. Freud used “unconscious metal process” to explain behavior especially in case of perversion, hallucination, dreams, obsession and anxieties.Attempts have also being made to explain human behavior in terms of rules followingpurposive model. Also end-state explanation such as need reduction, tension-reduction or homeostatic postulates is offered for behavior. Motives like drives, needs, instincts are alsoused to explain human behavior. Neither inspires of all this all inclusive theory of explaining human behavior is neither easy to present at this stage nor perhaps will it be possible in the future.
