how it is related to performance



ANS: 

Motivation refers to the forces acting on or within a person that cause that person to behave in a specific, goal-directed manner. Performance is based on a person's level of ability and motivation. This is often expressed as a formula: Performance = f (ability ´ motivation). Ability is the person's talent for performing goal-related tasks. Thus, performance is affected by the combination of ability and motivation, where both must be present at adequate levels in order to ensure effective performance.
