JAKARTA - Working without motivation will not be fun. Moreover, based on the count of working hours in the office or in the field, it is not less than 8 hours a day.

That means motivation is a driving force for achieving goals, clear expectations, and encourages proper management in the workplace. In achieving these three things, here's how to get and motivate at work.

Identifying orientation

Many workers work diligently for high salaries. However, not a few workers choose to work hard because it is their passion. This means that every employee has different motivations for why they work.

On the other hand, we all work because we want to get what we need from work. And this has a big influence on the enthusiasm and motivation of a person at work. Then identifying your orientation is necessary to formulate future steps later.

Have realistic goals

Like a house, each employee is a specification of the building. That means that each employee needs to establish their own goals in the field that they are working on. To get work motivation, a person needs realistic goals.

Have high self-esteem

Reporting from The Balance Careers, Monday, March 29, someone who has high self-esteem dares to take risks and excel at work. For those of you who need motivation, then appreciate every achievement and keep improving your achievements.

Nathaniel Branden in his book The Psychology of Self-Esteem writes that self-esteem has two important components, namely being confident in one's ability to overcome life's challenges and respecting yourself so that you have the right to feel happy, achieve, and have a sense of belonging.

When you have confidence in your personal abilities, you are able to think and act effectively in facing any difficult challenges.

Accept the challenge

Working without a target is like traveling without knowing the cardinal directions. Accepting challenges in a work environment can make someone motivated to complete their work. Don't worry about failing, because failure makes someone more observant and conscientious.

Create a vacation schedule

Vacation is one activity that makes you happy and refreshes your mind and feelings. If you have other ways to be happier and refreshed at producing brilliant ideas, then make a schedule to do them.
