Keeping Canadians motivated at workplace: A review inspired by the book “Personal Confidence & Motivation”

Abstract

We all want to accomplish something in our lives. It is important to know that we have accomplished something of value, of quality, or of meaning.Achieving more increases our self-confidence. Consequently, the more self-confident we become, the more we can accomplish. Failure to achieve our goals can have the opposite effect. We may experience a dip in our self-confidence if we do not achieve something, which may impact our motivation for trying again. This review gives a summary of some definitions and aspects of motivation discussed in the book “Personal Confidence & Motivation” by MTD Training and taking Canadian employees and employers as examples.
