DRIVE THEORY: This theory might be described as ‘push theory’ of motivation.

Here, the behavior is “pushed” towards goals by driving states within a person. When an internal driving state is aroused, the individual is pushed to engage in behavior which will lead to a goal that reduces the intensity of driving state.

 

INCENTIVE THEORY:o Incentive means the motivational value of a reinforcer. o In contrast with the push of drive theories, incentive theories

are ‘pull theories of motivation. Because of certain characteristics they have, the goal objects pull behavior towards them. Incentive can be positive or negative.
