==Description==
'''Motivation''' is the internal [[human condition|condition]] that activates [[behavior]] and gives it direction; energizes and directs goal-oriented behavior. The term is generally used for [[human]] motivation but, theoretically, it can be used to describe the causes for [[animal]] behavior as well. This article refers to human motivation. According to various theories, motivation may be rooted in the basic need to minimize physical pain and maximize pleasure, or it may include specific needs such as eating and resting, or a desired object, hobby, goal, state of being, ideal, or it may be attributed to less-apparent reasons such as altruism, [[morality]], or avoiding mortality.
