Critically analyse this statement using your knowledge of motivational theories.

According to Rollinson (2010) motivation is “a state arising in process that are internal and external to the individual, in which the person perceives that it is appropriate to pursue a certain course of action (or actions) directed as achieving a specified outcome (or outcomes) and in which the person chooses to pursue those outcomes with a degree of vigour and persistence.” Furthermore, he suggests that it is common place to hear managers refer to motivation “as if it is some sort of medicine that can be dispensed in variable quantities to those who need it most. This is an impossibility.”
