The process theory of motivation asks the question ‘How can people be motivated?’
The process theory of motivation does not emphasize the need for fulfilment through work (as in the content theory), but concentrates upon the processes through which individuals are motivated. They attempt to explain how individuals start, sustain and direct behaviour and assume that individuals are able to select their own goals and means of achieving those goals through a process of calculation. Process theory emphasizes the importance of rewards, often financial.
