What Are Motivators and How They Shape Your Decisions

by Mindarts | July 08, 2024

Introduction

Tom always wondered why some decisions came so easily while others left him second-guessing himself. Once he discovered that his motivator was Power, everything fell into place. Understanding your motivators can reveal why you make certain decisions.

The Definition of Motivators

Motivators are the internal forces that shape our decisions, guiding us in how we spend our time, energy, and resources. According to research in motivational theory, motivators can range from a desire for knowledge to the pursuit of balance and harmony.

How Motivators Influence Decision-Making

Motivators act as a lens through which you see the world. If you're driven by Economic values, for example, you might prioritize tasks that offer the highest return on investment. On the other hand, if you're motivated by Aesthetic values, you might gravitate towards roles or activities that prioritize beauty, balance, and creativity.

Wondering What Motivates Your Decisions?

Find out what drives your choices with our Motivators Assessment. Understanding your motivators will give you the clarity to make more intentional and aligned decisions.

Practical Application

  • List Your Top Decisions: Take a moment to list the top five decisions you've made in the past year. What was the underlying motivator behind each decision?
  • Reflect on Alignment: Ask yourself if these decisions align with your core values. If not, what could you change moving forward?

FAQs

  • How can I recognize my motivators? Reflect on the decisions that excite or drain you. These reactions often point to the motivators that are guiding your actions.
  • Can motivators conflict with one another? Yes, and when they do, it can cause indecision or frustration. The key is recognizing when one motivator takes precedence and adjusting accordingly.

Key Takeaways

  • Your decisions are shaped by your motivators, whether you realize it or not.
  • Recognizing your motivators helps you make decisions that align with your values.
