Abstract

Motivation has been a popular word in practically every businessman's, psychologist's, and sociologist's vocabulary for the past three decades. Many profess a thorough understanding of motivation, while the more experienced admit there is considerable mystery surrounding the interpretation of this complex work that is held responsible for all human behavior. Students of human behavior are not new to this modem day. Man has attempted to manipulate his fellowman for centuries. Some of the earlier documented philosophies of Socrates and Plato were directed toward answering this problem and they are still read today in search of a key to great knowledge of man's behavior. Most of these philosophies were introspective in nature whereby the philosophers attempted to understand their own minds and then explain everyone1s behavior from that basis, which is certainly a small sample by today's standards. Other doctrines were intuitive in that their proponents claimed certain truths were self-evident and formed the basis for man's behavior.
