Savremene motivacijske teorije u sučeljavanju s izvorima islama
Contemporary Motivation Theories in Dealing with the Sources of Islam

Summary/Abstract: Trying to draw attention to the importance of motivation in all spheres of human activity, after having published the text entitled “The Meaning and Significance of Motivation From an Islamic Perspective”, we continue our discussion on modern motivational theories, questioning them through the fundamental sources of Islam, the Qur’an and Sunnah. Since a human being is very complex, it is important to question all the factors that drive us to activity, whether we act in order to protect our true values (faith, life, intellect, family, homeland, property), meet our basic needs (physiological requirements for air, water, food and sleep) or our secondary needs (such as the need for self-esteem, achievement, self-expression, power, connection with others, love) or something else. We question all these theories through the texts of the Qur’an and the authentic paradigmatic life (sunnah) of Muhammad, p.b.u.h., emphasizing in particular the importance of the spiritual motives observed and insisted on by Muslim authors.
