According to the drive theory of
motivation, people are motivated to take certain actions in order to reduce the
internal tension that is caused by unmet needs. For example, you might be
motivated to drink a glass of water in order to reduce the internal state of thirst.
This theory is useful in explaining behaviors that have a strong biological
component, such as hunger or thirst. The problem with the drive theory of
motivation is that these behaviors are not always motivated purely by
physiological needs. For example, people often eat even when they are not
really hungry.
