including several entirely new chapters. It provides comprehensive
coverage of the history of motivation, and introduces up-to-date
theories and new research findings. Early sections provide a broad
introduction to, and deep understanding of, the field of motivation
psychology, mapping out different perspectives and research traditions.
Subsequent chapters examine major themes of human motivation, including
achievement, affiliation, and power motivation as well as the
fundamentals of motivation psychology, such as motivated and goal
oriented behaviors, implicit and explicit motives, and the regulation of
development. In addition, the book discusses the roles of motivation in
three practical fields: school and college, the workplace, and sports.
