Absztrakt

The topic of this paper is to compare and analyses the most commonly used motivation theories in management and psychology sciences. Its main focus is on motivation and self-determination theories. In the first chapter there is a comparison of motivation theories cognitive motivation and human specific motivation. “Self-determination theory (SDT) is a macro theory of human motivation that evolved from research on work organizations and other dominants of life.” (Deci, Olafsen, Ryan 2017:19). The relevancy of self-determination from the point of research is that it can be used to analyse the motivation of an individual, both in terms of learning or any other activities. Furthermore it is based on the analysis of external and internal factors affecting the individual person.
