Munro's Three-Factor Theory of Motivation

Munro's Three-Factor Theory of Motivation posits that three key elements drive human behavior: autonomy, relatedness, and competence. Autonomy is the desire for control over one’s actions and decisions. Relatedness refers to the need for social connections and belonging, while competence is the urge to master skills and achieve goals. Together, these factors influence motivation in various contexts, such as work and personal development. By fostering environments that support these elements, individuals are more likely to feel motivated and engaged in their activities, enhancing overall satisfaction and performance.
