Ways Human Emotions Drive Motivation Emotions can motivate us every day and for different reasons. Depending on the person, the way emotions can stimulate motivation may vary based on how much sleep they have had or how they perceive the upcoming day's event to elicit a feeling. With these differences, this essay will explore the reasons and how humans use emotions to stimulate motivation. This essay will also provide examples of how emotions relate to one's life, community, and/or career. Emotions are necessary to stimulate motivation. Ways Emotions Can Be Applied to Daily Life In the process of dealing with emotions in daily life, an example of working in a homeless shelter program, one can imagine that there are many emotions experienced in dealing with customers, colleagues, management and then your family. With focus on a family shelter program, the field of social services requires that clients be treated according to the agency's mission statement and that they do so with compassion and dignity. Consequently, this type of emotion can be classified as emotional labor. Payne (2009) explains how emotional labor is different from emotional labor in that employees show “genuine feelings towards customers and clients, rather than playing a role” (Payne, 2009 cited in Cox & Patrick, 2012, p. 350). For example, when our director went on medical leave after sustaining serious injuries, it was suspected that she would not return. The writer's emotion is fear of losing his job as the deputy executive director job recognizes educational qualifications over experience, the writer was motivated to take an online college course. Furthermore, he suggested the need to perform at a master's level so that the ability to perform......halfway through a document......about a goal, task or job defines the importance of the situation to that individual. Ultimately, it can be concluded that motivation is driven by emotions. Works Cited Cox, E., & Patrick, C. (2012).
