Motivation, like no other psychological variables, can not be measured directly, it is concluded from the behavior, size of commitment, perseverance and direction of behavior, or behavior whose results are achieved. It is an indicator of the performance of work, or the accomplishment of personal and organizational goals. On the other hand, if the job requirements are complex and not in accordance with the expectations, abilities, knowledge and skills of people, if they do not fit into the time available and the usual rhythm properly, if the conditions at work are outside the limits of physical and psychological tolerance and moral values without the opportunities for training and advancement, if the job is insecure, socially unrecognized, underpaid, filled with rejection and conflicts among the staff, the result is a destructive and unpleasant experience of the stress at work.
