The theory of motivation considers the concepts of "motive", "motivation" in terms of activity, society and state. We consider mutual relationships and mutual connection between motive and motivation. This issue always interested scientists since it determines the awareness of individuals, society and state of their needs, goals, actions, deeds i.e.‚ there arises an idea to consider these concepts in terms of the "motivation for development" as a motive (desire), i.e. the reason for a motivation driving force is the change in the state of something. If you take‚ of course‚ a condition that a change is always a development. In this case you can consider the motive (the desire) as a condition‚ and motivation as a need for development. And if it is considered from the point of view of individual, human society‚ state, most theories explore the potentialities to influence behavior, actions, activities of individuals, society‚ state they just confirm that motive ( desire) is a condition for development and motivation is a need for changes. It can be seen as a natural phenomenon of the existence of the universe and of man as a part of it.
This article synthesizes theoretical sources of motivation phenomenon by addressing mainly Immanuel Kant's works. Not only because he successfully puts together rationalism and empiricism if the New time and Kant's works were a prerequisite of nearly all the philosophy of the XIX-th and the XX-th centuries. The most essential thing for us lies in the fact that‚ in Kant`s opinion‚ human reason is a source of universal laws of nature all man`s experience and emotions are submitted to. Thus‚ we find the assumption proceeding from which we continue to study motivation not from a conventional point of view – as a subject of interest‚ desire or need – but we insist on its universal character seeing in it a major factor of development in reference to man‚ society‚ universe upon the whole.
