Motivation and engagement increase when people understand why the work matters and see a path to develop skills and credibility. Leaders connect tasks to mission outcomes, clarify how success will be measured, and remove obstacles that drain effort. They also provide autonomy within clear boundaries and offer regular feedback tied to growth goals. Engagement improves when workloads feel fair, progress is visible, and contributions are recognized consistently. Strong motivation practices reduce turnover risk and increase sustained performance.
