Motivation is the reason for people's actions, desires, and needs. Motivation is also one's direction to behavior, or what causes a person to want to repeat a behavior.[1] A motive is what prompts the person to act in a certain way, or at least develop an inclination for specific behavior.[2]

According to Maehr and Meyer, "Motivation is a word that is part of the popular culture as few other psychological concepts are."[3]

Types of theories and models:- Motivation theories can be classified on a number of bases:

<span><span>Natural vs. Rational: based on whether the underlying theory of human cognition is based on natural forces (drives, needs, desires) or some kind of rationality (instrumentality, meaningfulness, self-identity).</span><span>Content vs. Process: based on whether the focus is on the content ("what") motivates vs process ("how") motivation takes place.</span></span>

Motivation as a desire to perform an action is usually defined as having two parts, directional such as directed towards a positive stimulus or away from a negative one, as well as the activated "seeking phase" and consummatory "liking phase". This type of motivation has neurobiological roots in the basal ganglia, and mesolimbic dopaminergic pathways. Activated "seeking" behavior, such as locomotor activity, is influenced by dopaminergic drugs, and microdialysis experiments reveal that dopamine is released during the anticipation of a reward.[4] The "wanting behavior" associated with a rewarding stimulus can be increased by microinjections of dopamine and dopaminergic drugs in the dorsorostral nucleus accumbens and posterior ventral palladium. Opioid injections in this area produce pleasure, however outside of these hedonic hotspots they create an increased desire.[5] Furthermore, depletion or inhibition of dopamine in neurons of the nucleus accumbens decreases appetitive but not consummatory behavior. Dopamine is further implicated in motivation as administration of amphetamine increased the break point in a progressive ratio self-reinforcement schedule. That is, subjects were willing to go to greater lengths (e.g. press a lever more times) to obtain a reward.[6]

Levart [38]

I believe the correct answers are: post-synaptic receptors and shape of the neurotransmitter.

 

     In the lock-and-key analogy for neurotransmitters, the lock refers to the post-synaptic receptors, whereas the key refers to the shape of the neurotransmitter.

     Analogy of key-and-lock refers to the binding to occur between post-synaptic receptors and the shape of neurotransmitters, in which the neurotransmitter and the receptor site must have perfectly complementing shapes, as does a key that fits a lock.

Explanation:

As the exercise arguments, expatriate managers will experience more than the usual degree of pressure to violate their personal ethics given that, when faced with a different society involving a different culture and social context, they will start behaving or tending to apply and use the same norms than they usually don't, under the influence of psychological and physical pressures given that they are away from their home or natal social context.
