Accountability contributes to intrinsic motivation

My take on motivation? Motivation is the process that accounts for an individual’s intensity, direction, and persistence of effort toward attaining a goal. Persistence is the length of time a person can maintain their efforts. If an individual is able to see his/her goals from conception to fruition, their motivation and persistence are high. In essence, the greater the passion, focus, and determination for an objective or goal, the greater the intrinsic motivation will be.
