One question regarding motivation that has generated markedlydifferent responses over the years is the following: Do the keys tounlocking motivation in individuals lie within the personalcharacteristics of the individual or within the behavior exhbitedby the individual? Peter Drucker, as noted in your currentreadings, believed in the latter. So did John B. Watson and EdwardL. Thorndike. You will learn somewhat later in the course thatAbraham Maslow, Clayton Alderfer, and Thomas McClelland (amongothers) believed in the former. Based upon your personalobservations thus far in your life (and not on the researchfindings you will read about later in our course), explain which ofthese sets of researchers you most agree with. Be specific andcomprehensive in your response.

Motivation can be defined as "the process by which goal‐directedactivities are initiated and sustained." A similar definition ofmotivation is that it's "the process that initiates, guides, andmaintains goal-oriented behaviors." Or, even more simply stated,it's "what causes you to act." Assuming that each of thesestatements offers a fairly valid description of motivation (andeach does), then why is it that the work of Sigmund Freud is oftenlinked to the concept of motivation? Why is it that the work ofWilliam James is often linked to the concept of motivation? And whyis that the works of Frederick Taylor and Frank and LillianGilbreth are often linked to the concept of motivation? Be specificand comprehensive in your response.
