Welcome to the course The Art of Motivation by Knowledge City. Motivation is an extremely important human relations skill. In this particular course, we will cover many concepts that relate to motivation, such as the behavior process. Why do people do the things that they do? The motivation process itself and what are the components that lead to motivation. And then we will combine the motivation process with the behavior process. We will also include some key motivational theories. There are thousands of theories, but we will only cover a couple of them that I think are very important.
