THEORIES OF MOTIVATION:

DRIVE THEORY:
This theory might be described as push theory of motivation.

within a person. When an internal driving state is aroused, the
individual is pushed to engage in behavior which will lead to a
goal that reduces the intensity of driving state.

INCENTIVE THEORY:

In contrast with the push of drive theories, incentive theories
are pull theories of motivation. Because of certain
