Intensity is concerned with how hard a person tries.
What is intensity in organizational behavior?Intensity is the level of effort an employee has, direction is where the employee is channeling their efforts, and persistence is how long an employee can maintain effort.
What motivational theory focuses on the concept that motivation involves an individual's belief that he or she is capable of performing a task?Self-efficacy refers to an individual's belief in his or her capacity to execute behaviors necessary to produce specific performance attainments (Bandura, 1977, 1986, 1997). Self-efficacy reflects confidence in the ability to exert control over one's own motivation, behavior, and social environment.
What is direction in motivation?Motivation has two major components: direction and intensity. Direction is what a person wants to achieve, what they intend to do. It implies a target that motivated people try to “hit.” That target may be to do well on a test. Or it may be to perform better than anyone else in a work group.
