Since motivation is one of the most important factors of organizational success many people as professionals and scientists have tried to evaluate concepts how to get and keep the individuals of organizations motivated. There are two different kinds of motivation. The first is what makes a person do something on his own by internal needs and drives. For example, the need for food makes a person hungry and as a result, the person will be motivated to eat something. Alternatively, if he/she feels to be over weight or unfit he/she will be motivated to take up exercising. This kind of motivation is called intrinsic.
