Question

motivation refers to

Answer 1

Motivation: The general desire or willingness of someone to do something. It’s an action towards a desired goal; keeping yourself confident and motivated in accomplishing that goal. When you are physically motivated to do something, there will be a reason for why you want to do it. If you have a motivation, you will desire to do something–and it will not be because have to do it.

Examples:
“My friend had the biggest motivation on me, for achieving my goal in graduating from high school.”

“The student needs a bit of motivation in studying for his test, so that he can pass his test.”
