One of the most commonly debated and researched fields in the business world is motivation. Why
do people do what they do and how can we motivate others to do what we need them to do in the
business place? If we understand how and why people are motivated, we can encourage them to be
their best and do their best at work. The more that people are motivated to be successful and
achieve the goals set for them, the more their confidence in their own abilities will grow as well,
which can, in turn, make them even more motivated.
But you can also work on your own confidence and motivation in the workplace in order to achieve
your goals and intentions. When people are confident and motivated at work, there are many
positive factors that result in the workplace:
Job satisfaction improves
Effort increases
Working environment improves
Results are the focus
Drive is created
Everyone’s full potential can be tapped
Everyone is certain of the role they are to fulfill
Personal Confidence
We all know people who are confident. They seem to face life’s obstacles with a level of calm that is
enviable. They get into action to respond to a problem before giving themselves time to dwell or
worry too much. Confident people are more successful at work because they have a belief in their
own abilities to the point that they feel comfortable handling whatever comes at them. Make a
presentation to the board? No problem – the confident person plans and executes the presentation
without allowing fear to stop them. When someone is confident, they:
Focus on their strengths while managing their weaknesses
Aren’t afraid to take risks
Enjoy challenging themselves and setting high goals
Seek out self-improvement opportunities
Aren’t afraid to admit when they make a mistake
Aren’t afraid to acknowledge when they don’t know something
Make good team leaders or mentors
Can relate to customers or company members at any level of the organization
Are honest about their shortcomings
1.3 Personal Motivation
All of us have a desire to achieve something in our lives. We want to know that we have achieved
something important, of value, of quality, or of meaning. Being motivated to meet our goals means
that
we are able to:
Improve our self-confidence
Enhance our self-discipline
Set examples for ourselves of what we can achieve
Challenge ourselves to stretch beyond our perceived limits
Reward ourselves for reaching our goals
Enjoy the recognition or perks associated with reaching our goals
The more that we are able to achieve, the more self-confident we become. Then the more self-
confident we become, the more we are able to achieve. The reverse can happen if we fail to meet
our goals. If we fall short of achieving something, we may experience a dip in our self-confidence
levels, which in turn may impact our motivation to try again. Understanding this relationship
between motivation and self confidence is important if you want to be able to improve either trait in
yourself. ?
?Defining Confidence
People sometimes confuse confidence with arrogance. The arrogant person is usually actually an
insecure person and their arrogance is a way to hide their insecurities. Where an arrogant person is
boastful, a confident person has no need to boast – they know that their achievements speak for
themselves. Where an arrogant person will have trouble admitting they were wrong, a confident
person is perfectly willing to admit when they are wrong – they know that the admission doesn’t
diminish their value or their abilities. If an arrogant person tends to focus on looking good or
appearing to be the best, a confident person focuses on being the best and doing the best.
Defining Motivation -A simple definition for motivation is that it is a description of a person’s motive
to action. You can have a low level of motivation to perform an action, for example, if you are taking
a long time to complete a project or even to begin it. But if you have drive towards a goal, objective,
or target, we talk about you having positive motivation. Those who are highly motivated to achieve
things in their lives are also likely to be more fulfilled as they accomplish the things that are
important to them in their lives. ?
