Agbinifoh B.A Etal (1999) define motivation as a driving force within an individual produced by a state of tension that exists, as the result of an unfulfilled need.

He said motivation of workers is not easy, this is to say that the success of any motivation effort depends in the extend to when the motivator meets the needs of the individual employee for whom it is intends. Therefore, motivation is an internal psychological process whose presence or absence is inferred from observed performances. However, motivated behavior has three basic characteristics according to Nwachukwu:
i It result from a felt need: An huge directed tow3ards a need.

According to Barron (1995) motivation can be referred to as inferred internal process that activities, guide and maintained behavior overtime.
