, Motivation and Performance, Lecture 1: Intro & Needs
(Pepijn van de Pol)
Performance: The action process of performing a specific task or function.
Motivation: Multiple ways that motivate us process/persistence/teamwork/rewards etc.
Performance is related to: needs, goals, rewards, self-regulation, deviant behavior, talent and coaching.
The application of theory in practice (in different achievement context):
Motivating
Guiding and coaching
Improving
Central pillars:
Needs
Goals
Rewards
Social context
How to answer the why question?
Determinism Everything is set
in stone
Determinism: every event is an unavoidable and necessary consequence of
prior circumstances.
Determinism does not mean that the world can be fully understood and be explained to humans
Game of life (Conway, 1970s)
Conway’s deterministic world
Full square with < 2 neighbors dies
Full square with 2 or neighbors lives on
Full square with > 3 neighbors dies
Empty square with 3 neighbors is born
Simple world can be unpredictable, reality is much more complex
Assumption of Motivation Science, if we understand the causes of behavior, we can predict
behavior.
