Motivation

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Willingness to perform describes the degree to which a person is willing to use their physical or mental capabilities in the form of work for a specific goal .

General

Corporate goals for employees and personal goals for private individuals come into consideration as goals . The work result to be achieved can be individually significant, appear necessary in a social context or be contractually agreed in an employment relationship . Corresponding to the goal, the person who is supposed to or wants to perform the work must have the appropriate motivation and drive . Only with these can the performance be called up and the suffering at work overcome. Willingness to perform is the prerequisite for achieving performance in physics , school , sport , companies or in economics .

Business administration

In business administration , the term extends to the provision of production factors ( work , operating resources , materials ) and all measures required for production ( work preparation ).

Erich Gutenberg already pointed out in 1958 that human work performance in a company is determined by his abilities and his drive. Abilities were his physical, mental and emotional capacities, by drives he understood a “positive attitude towards work” (ie work motivation ). He calls these factors subjective working conditions , while objective working conditions include work technique , workplace design and break regulations .

The achievable level of performance of the employees depends on the performance and willingness to perform. It can be influenced by performance fees ( performance pay or performance bonus ).

According to REFA , willingness to perform is also referred to as operational capability : “Operability is significantly influenced by the technical wear and tear of the equipment. It becomes noticeable in the decrease in precision, reduced production yield, increased reject rate and increased downtimes (influence on quantitative performance). ”The quantitative capacity of a production factor (operating resources, personnel capacity , materials) results from its willingness to perform. The efficiency of the equipment depends on the degree of modernity, the degree of technical wear and tear and the operability.

psychology

The possible exhaustion of the existing capacity at a certain point in time depends on the physical willingness to perform ( disposition ) and the mental willingness to perform (motivation). The term willingness to perform describes on the one hand a certain level of motivation of a person in a specific situation, on the other hand a general personality trait (see motivation to achieve ).

Willingness to perform develops in childhood, e.g. B. in competitive games from approx. 7/8 Year of age, and through parental recognition and attention as well as through getting used to demands made by others.
