motivation and engagement theory

Motivation and engagement theory explains what drives people to take action and stay involved in tasks. Motivation refers to the internal or external factors that encourage someone to start and persist in a behavior, such as interest, goals, or rewards. Engagement describes the level of focus, enthusiasm, and commitment a person shows while participating in an activity. Together, these concepts help us understand how to foster positive participation, improve performance, and create meaningful experiences. When individuals are motivated and engaged, they are more likely to be productive, satisfied, and achieve their full potential.
