Facts (generated by robot; please edit if you find it inaccurate)

Another way to say this is that motivation is goal-directed behaviour.
Internal motivation is longer lasting and more self-directive than is external motivation, which must be repeatedly reinforced by praise or concrete rewards.
In spite of enormous research, basic as well as applied, the subject of motivation is not clearly understood and more often than not poorly practiced.
