Right. Okay. Let’s talk detailedly about each aspect of motivation.
Motivation towards and motivation from. Which are pluses and
minuses of each in our life?
This is not to say that FROM motivation is bad, and TOWARDS
motivation is good. It is the matter of applicability. There is a range of peculiarities, or – so to speak – personality traits. A person having rather FROM motivation is more cautious, attentive… such person avoids… and doesn’t want something to be… something to happen…
Normally, those people are more observant. And more sensitive. Unlike TOWARDS motivation, where a person is rather result-oriented, and, like they say, an arrow heading towards a target is not distracted by the landscape. …So, a person having TOWARDS motivation may
be insensitive to other people and to their reaction. This is not always the case. There’s a certain correlation. For example… I would… apply it… I mean positive or negative… if I meet a person rather having FROM motivation… I would try to match that person’s motivation, and would talk to a greater extent about problems we should avoid…
We would figure out them together. Or, for example, a goal-oriented person. It is easier to involve such person into something, it is easier to offer some prospects, goals, plans to such person, and he or she will immediately start doing something… to achieve a certain goal.
Pure FROM motivation or TOWARDS motivation… not that it is difficult to encounter… such people are just rarer. More frequently, it is about balance, about proportions. For example, a person may have 70%
of FROM motivation and 30% of TOWARDS motivation. It’s rather the question of how it shows itself, how to estimate it in natural environment, because… if we were carrying out some tests, and if a person knew about such tests, he or she could intentionally influence…
This is exactly what I wanted to specify. It is definitely in the
context. So probably to illustrate somehow? How do we specify it?
First of all, it is the context of interaction with other people. For example, in business it may be personnel recruiting. And a certain job vacation…
a certain occupation… very often TOWARDS motivation or FROM
motivation has an effect… For example, a doctor. … A doctor – is it TOWARDS motivation or FROM motivation?
