In <a href=\"https:\/\/shortform.com\/app\/book\/the-four-agreements\"><em>The Four Agreements<\/em><\/a><em>, <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/don-jose-ruiz\/\">Don Miguel Ruiz<\/a> similarly cautions against making wrong assumptions and explains how they can lead to a <a href=\"https:\/\/shortform.com\/app\/book\/the-four-agreements\/chapter-4\">cycle of conflict<\/a>: Assumptions lead to misunderstandings, which cause us to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/taking-offense\/\">be offended<\/a>, at which point we lash back, which creates more negativity and leads the other person to treat us badly again. Thus, when we make negative assumptions, we can both damage our relationship with the other person and leave the original issue unsolved.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-to-consider-factors-affecting-motivation\"><strong>How to Consider <\/strong>Factors Affecting Motivation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When considering the personal, social, and structural factors affecting motivation, the authors suggest asking the following questions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>When considering personal motivation, ask: <\/strong>Is this person intrinsically motivated to complete the task, keep the promise, or uphold the commitment they made to us? Do they enjoy this action, or is this action taxing for them? However, the authors caution that <em>only<\/em> considering personal factors is the root cause of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/fundamental-attribution-bias\/\">fundamental attribution<\/a> error. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Shortform note: Psychologists explain that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.verywellmind.com\/what-is-intrinsic-motivation-2795385#:~:text=Intrinsic%20motivation%20refers%20to%20behavior,is%20naturally%20satisfying%20to%20you.\">intrinsic motivation<\/a> is motivation that\u2019s driven by internal rewards, like meeting a personal goal. Extrinsic motivation, on the other hand, is driven by the desire for external rewards, like money or gratification, or the fear of consequences.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>When considering social motivation, ask:<\/strong> Could the other person\u2019s motivation be influenced by anyone else? Consider the impact of friends, family, customers, bosses, or coworkers. Were they peer pressured to put a task off or asked by someone to put another task first? Finally, consider your role in the social formula\u2014is it possible that the way you made your request to this person came across as rude, and that\u2019s why they did not follow through? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>Peer Pressure Among Adults<\/strong><br><br>While most people think the forces of peer pressure largely disappear once we grow up, psychologists note that this is far from accurate. In fact, our friends and family have a huge impact on the decisions we make. So, how can we <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mentalhealthcenter.org\/how-to-deal-with-peer-pressure-as-an-adult\/\">free ourselves from the grips of peer pressure<\/a>?\u00a0<br><br>1. Reflect on your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/clarifying-your-values\/\">core values<\/a>. If your actions or behaviors don\u2019t represent these values, change them.<br>2. Be assertive with peers by using \u201cI\u201d phrases such as \u201cI want,\u201d or \u201cI think.\u201d<br>3. Develop relationships with a wide demographic of people. <br>4. Seek advice from people who affirm your values.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>When considering structural factors, ask:<\/strong> How might external elements like money, data, work space, equipment, or even temperature be impacting the person&#8217;s motivation? Are they being underpaid for the job being asked? Is it difficult for them to acquire the time or resources necessary to complete the task? Is there a more financially motivating task that they\u2019re choosing to complete first?(Shortform note: Experts second the authors\u2019 argument that <a href=\"https:\/\/reader.elsevier.com\/reader\/sd\/pii\/S1877705811029730?token=3049EF286C40D4B929B60ACA0E4EA1F3125871645F02E5CD0E1BE0BAEF4841510E5F8FFA270D09F37F85C45A5E62DEE9&amp;originRegion=eu-west-1&amp;originCreation=20220302133748\">external factors of the work environment like lighting, temperature, air quality, and noise can impact motivation.<\/a> They note specifically that open open-plan offices, temperatures above 25\u2103, and frequent noises like phones, keyboards, and copiers, can dramatically decrease motivation and productivity in employees.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What are the biggest factors affecting motivation?
