Abstract

Motivation is the force that moves a person to initiate and action and keeps him persistent in the action initiated. It is very much required to accomplish the goals set by people. Motivation can be regarded as spice of life without which living would have been futile. Motivation is very essential in personal as well as organization level. The lack of motivation results in poor performance and non accomplished goals of life. “It is the core of management which shows that every human being gives him a sense of worth in face-to face groups which are most important to him….A supervisor should strive to treat individuals with dignity and recognition of their personal worth.” Likert “Motivation implies any emotion or desire which so conditions one’s will that the individual is properly led into action.” Vance People get motivated by two types of motivations i.e. intrinsic and extrinsic motivation. Intrinsic motivation is when a task is done not to achieve some external reward but for own pleasure and satisfaction. Extrinsic motivation is when people do a task with the aim to achieve some reward in return like money, appreciation,fame etc. In this research paper it has been tried to identify which motivation (intrinsic or extrinsic) is more influential in males and females aged between (20-35 yrs) to indulge in physical activities like weight training at the gym ,jogging and playing sports. It has been found out that intrinsic motivation influences more to males and extrinsic motivation to females when it comes to physical activities.
