Which is not the component of motivation?

Motivation refers to factors that activate, direct and sustain goal-directed behaviour. The concept of motivation is some driving force within individuals by which they attempt to achieve some goals to satisfy some need or expectation in life.

Key Points 

• A person never stops after achieving a goal. It is a cycle that continues throughout life, hence, called the Motivational Cycle.

Component of motivation: 

1. Need: A need is a lack of necessity. An action gets initiated because of an underlying need.
2. Drive: It is the second step in the achievement of a goal. It acts as a persistent stimulus to push an organism towards its goal. It is the state of heightened tension leading to the behaviour. It has a direction and valence.
3. Incentive: Positive outcomes from actions act as an incentive in motivating a person towards achieving a goal. It is the object of the environment that activates, directs, and maintains behaviour.
4. Goals: They can be either positive or negative. Positive goals are the ones that a person tries to attain, such as relationships, food, success, etc. Negative goals are the ones that a person tries to avoid or escape from, such as embarrassing situations, insults, punishments, etc.

Hence, it could be concluded that Rote memory is not a component of motivation.

Hint 

• Rotememory refers to the process of memorizing information by drilling or repeating the same.
