Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Motivation refers to the psychological forces, such as needs or desires, that activate, direct, and maintain goal-directed behavior. Valence refers to the value or desirability of an outcome, drive refers to an internal state of tension that motivates an individual to reduce that tension, instrumentality refers to the belief that the level of effort leads to particular outcomes, and equity refers to an individual's perception of fairness or justice in the distribution of outcomes. Out of all these, motivation best describes the psychological forces that determine behavior.
