Psychologists describe it as the desire that energizes and directs behavior. It derives from the exchange between nature and culture. It is our motivation and without it we would achieve nothing. When we explore our motivation, we focus on four different perspectives; instinct theory, drive reduction theory, arousal theory and hierarchy of needs. An instinct is a complex, unlearned behavior with a fixed pattern across the species. The instinct theory, which has since been called the evolutionary perspective, focuses primarily on genetically predisposed behaviors. Instead of explaining our behaviors, early instinct theorists simply named them. For example, when someone criticized himself, it was because of his "instinct of self-humiliation." When he bragged, it was because of his "self-assertion instinct." Although he failed to decipher most of our human motivations, it is an assumption that genetically predisposed species-typical behavior was dead. Instinct theory was quickly replaced by drive reduction theory, which focused on the interactions between our internal drives and external drives. This theory explains the idea of ​​a psychological need creating a state of arousal that drives us to do something to satisfy that need. As the psychological need for something increases, the psychological drive also increases. We are driven by our need to maintain a balanced internal state, or homeostasis motivates us. Some motivated actions actually increase arousal Aron Ralston, famous for cutting his arm after being trapped under a rock for 147 hours, is a great example of this theory.

Henry Murray defined achievement motivation as the desire to acquire significant mastery of one's skills. With the help of subgoals and implementation intentions, employees are able to see when, where and how they will achieve their goals.⦁ Human factors psychology: How machines and environments must be designed to adapt to human capabilities. ATMs are the perfect example of this; with the help of human factors psychologists, we are able to create very complex machines. Through motivation we can achieve everything.
