Summary/Abstract: In postmodern times, after having first alienated ourselves from God and then from everything else, we have completely disrupted the existing value system, believing that this technological world can offer us precisely everything. In this sense, we also perceive and reduce man to a machine that brings us profit. We have forgotten all other human dimensions, values, possibilities, potentials, the goal of life. One of the consequences of such a conception of the world and man is the dominant apathy and lack of motivation that are present in people of all ages and both sexes. Pupils and students reluctantly approach the performance of their duties and are generally satisfied with a passing grade. Employees work only as much as they have to, many of them not even that much, guided by the rule that “they can’t be paid as little as they can do.” After years of research, dissapointed because their results are being ignored, scientists and researchers ask themselves: “Why all this?!” Due to all this, it is even more important to talk about motivation, its meaning and significance and ways to motivate and encourage humans to activate all their potentials in order to achieve success.
