Neuroscience and motivation

Leslie T. Szamosi and Giovanni Serafini

Chapter 55 in Elgar Concise Encyclopedia of Neuroscience and Management, 2026, pp 197-200 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: This entry explores the emerging field of neuro-based motivation, integrating neuroscience with leadership and organisational behaviour. Through examining key brain structures and neurochemicals linked to motivation, we support how biological processes can underpin engagement, learning, and performance. Bridging classical motivation theories with neuroscientific insights, it is demonstrated how leaders can leverage such principles to enhance well-being, productivity, and innovation. The entry also considers the role of artificial intelligence and neuro-leadership in creating brain-responsive workplaces. Understanding neural foundations can provide a transformative framework for sustaining human and organisational development.
