Course Targets

Participants will be able to:

Explain the core principles of motivation and how they impact individual and team performance.

Motivation drives behavior by influencing effort, persistence, and goal direction, which directly affects both individual achievement and overall team performance.

Differentiate between intrinsic and extrinsic motivation and identify their influence on workplace behavior.

Intrinsic motivation comes from personal satisfaction and interest in the work itself, while extrinsic motivation stems from external rewards or recognition—both shaping how employees engage, perform, and sustain their efforts.

Apply motivation theories (e.g., Maslow, Herzberg, Self-Determination Theory) to practical leadership scenarios.

Leaders can use motivation theories to tailor strategies that meet employees’ psychological and professional needs, fostering engagement, satisfaction, and productivity in the workplace.
