The concept of motivation focuses on explaining what moves behaviour. Most of our everyday explanation of behaviour is given in terms of motives. There may be a number of reasons for a particular behaviour. Motives also help in making predictions about behaviour. A person will work hard in schools, in sports, in business, in music and in many other situations, if he has a very strong need for an achievement. Hence, motives are the general states that enables us to make predictions about behaviour in many different situations.
