Abstract: Abstract Why do people want to work? And why does work arouse so much emotion in people? Before we move on, we must take a closer look at human needs and driving forces, which influence our motivation to work. We must also examine the meaning of work. All these things are intimately associated with our emotional life. Why are we motivated to do some things and not others? Why are we motivated to do anything at all?
