motivation is the 'reason' that underlies an action performed by an individual. Someone said to have high motivation can be interpreted that the person has a very strong reason to achieve what he wants by doing his current job.
In contrast to motivation in the sense that develops in a society that is often equated with a 'spirit', like the example in conversation "I want my child to have high motivation". This statement can mean that parents want their children to have a high learning spirit. So, it should be understood that there are different uses of long-term motivation in society. Some interpret motivation as a reason, and others interpret motivation equals spirit.
