that drives him to achieve a goal.
Psychologists such as David McClelland define motivation as "the drive within an individual to achieve something that is considered important" (McClelland & Burnham, 2.
McClelland explains that motivation is influenced by the need for achievement, power, and affiliation that drives individuals in various activities of their lives.
On the other hand.

states in his research entitled "Theory of Human Motivation - Abraham Maslow" that motivation is associated with a hierarchy of needs that includes the need for appreciation, security, love, and belonging, as well as self-actualization and physiological.
In Islam, motivation has a broader and deeper meaning.
The term motivation is often associated with niyyah or intention, which means a person's awareness in doing an act accompanied by the hope of obtaining the pleasure of Allah SWT (Q.
S, 98: .
Thus, motivation in the Islamic perspective includes a strong spiritual dimension, in contrast to motivation in the psychological perspective, which generally focuses on fulfilling worldly Motivation comes from the power within a person to do something to achieve a certain In psychology, motivation is often associated with basic human needs, which include fulfilling emotional desires, self-actualization, gaining appreciation, and a sense of security, as in research (Uno, 2.
that describes the study of motivation theory in Maslow's This motivation can arise from internal factors, such as personal drive and beliefs, or external factors, such as the environment and appreciation from outside oneself (Rahman.
Meanwhile, in Islam's view, motivation is not only focused on worldly goals but also related to the goals of the afterlife.
Islam emphasizes the importance of intention .
and sincerity in every action as the basis for motivation (Saripuddin, 2.
In the Qur'an, the motivation to do good and gain Allah's pleasure is the core motivation that should underlie the behavior of a Muslim (Baqarah.
Therefore.
Islam views motivation as a drive to fulfill material or worldly needs and an effort to be close to al-Khalik to strengthen spiritual values and achieve true happiness (Azimi, 2.

state that motivation in Islam is seen as part of worship, not only for worldly purposes but also for spiritual and divine aspects.
Motivation for life in Islam includes stages of human life involving faith, worship, and noble morals.
Motivation plays an important role in shaping a person's attitude and behavior, encouraging him to live his life according to Islamic teachings.
Motivation in Islam is based on two main components: .
Intention and Sincerity: Sincere intention is a strong foundation in every action taken by a Muslim.
A famous hadith states, "Indeed all actions depend on one's intention, and a person only gets what he intends" (HR.
Bukhari and Musli.
This shows that every good deed in Islam must be based on a sincere intention to obtain the pleasure of Allah SWT, which is the deepest source of motivation for a Muslim.
Rewards and Rewards in the Hereafter: Motivation in Islam is not only related to worldly satisfaction but also directs individuals to achieve happiness in the hereafter.
Every good deed, for example, has an impact on the world and the hereafter.
The concept of the hereafter encourages a person to do good deeds, not only for personal satisfaction but also for the pleasure of Allah SWT.
As explained in the Qur'an: "Whoever does good deeds, whether male or female, while he is a believer, then verily We will give him a good life" (QS.
An- Nahl .
: .
This verse emphasizes that a good life is the result of motivation based on faith and good deeds.
Trust and Patience: In addition to intention and reward, motivation in Islam is also related to trust and patience in facing challenges.
The concept of trust provides spiritual strength for a Muslim to continue trying and not give up easily, while patience provides endurance in facing life's trials.
Someone who understands the meaning of trust and patience will be more motivated to continue trying and not stop in difficult Motivation in Psychology Motivation is the force that drives a person's behavior to achieve a desired goal.
This concept is analyzed through various approaches, the most well-known of which are:
Maslow's Theory of Needs Maslow introduced a hierarchy of needs, explaining that a person's motivation depends on satisfying basic needs, ranging from physiological, safety, and esteem to selfactualization.
Maslow stated, "Only after basic needs are met can a person attain satisfaction at a higher level of needs.
" For example, a safe person will be more motivated to pursue higher rewards or personal goals.
Self-Determination Theory (Ryan and Dec.
This theory emphasizes the importance of intrinsic motivation .
esire from withi.
and extrinsic motivation .
esire from withou.
Ryan and Deci state that intrinsic motivation is closely related to feelings of competence, autonomy, and social connectedness.
According to them, intrinsic motivation plays an important role in maintaining a person's enthusiasm in the long term (Deci et al.
, 2.
Reinforcement Theory (Skinne.
Based on behaviorist theory.
Skinner argued that motivation can be strengthened through positive or negative stimuli.
In other words, behavior that is rewarded tends to be repeated, while behavior that is punished decreases.
This theory focuses more on the role of external factors in shaping a person's motivation (Triwahyuni et al.
, 2.
The Role of Motivation in Islam and Psychology Motivation plays an important role in a person's life, both from a religious and psychological perspective.
In Islam, motivation can increase a person's spirituality and moral goodness, such as: .
Forming an Islamic Personality: Motivation based on faith and piety will form an honest, disciplined, patient, and responsible person.
Individuals who are motivated to seek Allah's pleasure will always maintain integrity in their actions and words.
Maintaining Commitment to Good Deeds: Motivation in Islam helps a Muslim to remain steadfast or consistent in carrying out religious commands, such as prayer, zakat, and other worship, even when faced with challenges and difficulties.
From a psychological perspective, motivation affects many aspects of life, from improving academic achievement and social relationships to career development.
Some of the roles of motivation in psychology include: .
Encouraging goal achievement: Motivation provides energy and direction for a person to achieve goals so that individuals are encouraged to try their best.
For example, high learning motivation helps students strive to achieve good academic results.
Increasing Personal Satisfaction and Happiness: Individuals with intrinsic motivation are generally happier because they do things with meaningful and relevant goals.
Thus, from an Islamic and psychological perspective, motivation is important in shaping a person's personality and direction in life.
From an Islamic perspective, motivation functions as a spiritual driver oriented towards pleasing Allah and the hereafter, while in psychology, motivation helps a person achieve their potential and happiness in life through fulfilling needs and achieving goals.
Both perspectives show that motivation functions as a force for achieving personal goals and as a basis for improving the quality of life and mental and spiritual well-being.
Factors That Influence Motivation From an Islamic and psychological perspective, motivation does not just appear without any influence.
Various factors play an important role in forming, strengthening, or even weakening a person's motivation.
In Islam, motivation is influenced by faith, piety, environment, and religious education.
Meanwhile, in psychology, motivation is influenced by basic needs, social factors, emotional conditions, and the external environment.
In Islam, several important factors influence a Muslim's motivation to remain enthusiastic in carrying out religious commands, doing good, and trying to gain Allah's These factors include:
Faith and Piety Faith in Allah is a fundamental factor that influences a Muslim's motivation.
A Muslim who has strong faith will be more motivated to do what his religion commands and abandon everything that He has forbidden.
Taqwa also plays an important role in maintaining the purity of intentions and sincerity of actions.
Allah SWT says, "Indeed, those who believe and do righteous deeds will obtain paradise full of pleasure.
" (QS.
Luqman .
: .
This verse shows that faith and good deeds encourage a Muslim to try better for the enjoyment of the afterlife, which is a strong form of spiritual motivation.
Afterlife as the Main Orientation A person's motivation is greatly influenced by the awareness that the process of life in this world is temporary, life in the afterlife is eternal.
This understanding motivates a Muslim to focus more on life in the afterlife through good deeds and worship.
As stated in QS.
AlAnkabut .
: 64, "And the life of this world is but amusement and play.
And verily, the hereafter is the real life if they only knew.
" This understanding makes the afterlife a motivation that encourages a person not to be easily tempted by temporary worldly pleasures and to focus more on long-term goals.
Family and Social Environment An Islamic family environment and good social support are external factors that greatly influence a Muslim's motivation.
For example, a family that implements Islamic values and provides an example in worship will form a positive mindset in a person from an early age.
The Prophet Muhammad, in his saying, "Every child is born in a state of fitrah, then his parents make him Jewish.
Christian, or Zoroastrian.
" (HR.
Bukhari and Musli.
This hadith implies the main role of parents and their environment as the basis for forming a child's religious motivation from an early age.
Religious Education and Its Understanding A deep understanding of Islamic teachings also strengthens motivation.
A person with good religious knowledge will better understand the reasons and benefits of every command and prohibition in Islam, so he is more motivated to practice Islamic teachings with full awareness.
Good religious education helps a person understand that every good deed will be rewarded according to his intentions.
Factors Influencing Motivation from a Psychological Perspective In psychology, various theories reveal the factors that influence individual motivation.
The following are some of the main factors that are often identified in psychological motivation studies:
Basic Needs and Maslow's Hierarchy According to Abraham Maslow, a person's motivation is influenced by needs that are arranged in a hierarchy.
In this pyramid of needs, physiological needs such as food and shelter are at the basic level.
They must be met first before the individual can feel motivated to meet the needs at the level above them, such as security, affection, appreciation, and selfactualization.
When these basic needs can be met, the individual will be motivated to achieve their maximum potential, or what is called self-actualization.
In his research (Navy, 2.
Maslow argued that individuals who reach the level of self-actualization have deeper and more lasting motivation because their life goals have been met at all levels of need.
Social and Environmental Influences In psychology, social factors such as family, friends, and society greatly influence individual motivation.
A supportive environment can encourage individuals to develop and achieve their goals.
Research shows that social support from those closest to them positively impacts motivation, especially in terms of academic and career achievement.
On the other hand, an unsupportive environment can reduce an individual's motivation to achieve (Azhar & Wahyudi, 2.
Not only in the perspective of psychology, the environment can influence student motivation, but even in the perspective of Islam, the environment also influences the perspective of Islam.
Sudarti & Fachrunnisa .
revealed that motivation can be increased by understanding and implementing Islamic values in the environment.
This helps create a productive environment that aligns with Islamic values, ultimately increasing productivity.
Emotions and Psychological Well-Being A person's emotional state is also a major factor influencing motivation.
Positive emotions such as joy, enthusiasm, and optimism can enhance motivation, while negative emotions such as fear, anxiety, and frustration tend to inhibit motivation.
In SelfDetermination Theory.
Deci and Ryan emphasize that emotions that support competence, autonomy, and social coherence can enhance a person's intrinsic motivation (Deci et al.
Reinforcement and Punishment (Behavioris.
In the behaviorist approach.
BF Skinner suggested that reinforcement plays an important role in shaping motivation.
Positive reinforcement, such as praise or rewards, can increase the motivation to repeat a particular behavior, while punishment can reduce the motivation to perform an undesirable behavior.
For example, in an educational context, rewards for high-achieving students can motivate other students to study harder.
This theory is often applied in educational and work environments to increase productivity and positive behavior (Triwahyuni et al.
, 2.
Comparison of Motivational Factors in Islamic and Psychological Perspectives Although motivational factors in Islam and psychology have some similarities, such as the importance of environment and social support, there are fundamental differences regarding motivation's ultimate goal and basis.
Afterlife Orientation vs Self-actualization In Islam, motivation tends to be oriented towards the goal of the afterlife, namely, to gain Allah's pleasure and achieve eternal life.
Meanwhile, in psychology, especially according to Maslow, the highest motivation is self-actualization, which is when someone reaches their maximum potential in a worldly context.
This difference in orientation reflects the spiritual approach in Islam compared to the humanistic approach in psychology.
Intention and Sincerity vs External Influence Islam emphasizes the importance of intention and sincerity as the main factors in A person must have a sincere intention to receive blessings in every action.
contrast, psychology often highlights the role of external factors such as rewards, environment, and reinforcement that influence a person's motivation.
Based on behavioral theory, these factors are considered to play a greater role in shaping motivation.
Thus, from an Islamic perspective, motivation is influenced by faith, afterlife orientation.
Islamic environment, and religious education, all of which aim to achieve Allah's In psychology, motivation is influenced by the hierarchy of needs, social support, emotional states, and external reinforcement.
The Influence of Motivation on Individual Behavior and Well-being Motivation is the main driver that influences a person's actions and decisions in his life.
From both Islamic and psychological perspectives, motivation plays a major role in shaping an individual's behavior and well-being.
However, in both perspectives, there are different approaches to understanding the relationship between motivation and well-being.
Islam emphasizes holistic well-being, namely the well-being of this world and the hereafter, while psychology tends to focus more on psychological and physical well-being in this world.
The Influence of Motivation on Individual Behavior in an Islamic Perspective In Islam, motivation is an energy that drives humans to act according to religious guidance and aims to obtain Allah's pleasure.
Strong motivation in Islam will directly influence individual behavior in everyday life, both spiritually and socially.
Some of the influences of motivation in Islam on individual behavior include:
Motivation for Worship and Good Deeds The motivation that comes from faith in Allah will encourage individuals to worship consistently and sincerely.
A Muslim who is motivated by faith will carry out prayer, fasting, zakat, and Hajj as religious obligations with great gratitude.
Allah said, "And I did not create jinn and humans except that they should worship Me.
" (QS.
Adh-Dhariyat .
: .
Ae which emphasizes that worship activities are a form of behavior directed towards higher spiritual Motivation to Do Good to Others Islam teaches that every individual must behave well towards fellow human beings to gain Allah's pleasure.
One aspect that greatly motivates good behavior is the teaching to give alms, help people who are experiencing difficulties, and establish harmonious social In the hadith, the Messenger of Allah SAW said, "Your smile in front of your brother is alms, and every good thing you do is worship.
" (Narrated by Tirmidh.
This hadith shows that motivation from belief in Allah's reward and pleasure can encourage individuals to do good without only expecting worldly rewards.
Motivation to Maintain Ethics and Morals Motivation in Islam also encourages individuals to behave with noble morals.
The Prophet Muhammad SAW is the best role model, and Muslims are taught to imitate his One of the main motivations underlying good behavior is a sincere intention to gain Allah's pleasure.
A Muslim who is motivated by Islamic teachings will try to maintain behavior and morals in every aspect of life, whether at work, family, or society.
The Influence of Motivation on Individual Welfare in an Islamic Perspective Well-being in Islam includes worldly well-being and spiritual well-being that leads to eternal happiness in the hereafter.
The drive directed towards achieving worldly and hereafter well-being will influence one's behavior and life in the following ways:
Spiritual Well-being In Islam, true well-being is based on closeness to Allah and a blessed life.
The motivation that is carried out consistently to get closer to Allah SWT will increase inner peace and provide a sense of security and happiness.
As stated in the Qur'an, "Whoever does good deeds, whether male or female, and is a believer, those will enter Paradise and they will not be wronged in the slightest.
" (QS.
An-Nisa .
: .
Strong religious motivation forms good behavior and brings peace of heart and soul, ultimately leading to spiritual wellbeing.
Research Anwar & Umar .
also suggests that motivation in Islam is influenced by spirituality, including faith, piety, and ihsan.
Unlike Western motivation theories that emphasize external factors, motivation in Islam is rooted in spiritual beliefs and the search for divine approval.
This spiritual-based motivation can potentially increase loyalty, innovation, and productivity, which have positive impacts.
Social welfare Motivation to improve social relations in Islam also greatly affects individual wellbeing.
Social welfare in Islam is achieved when individuals strive to live in harmony with others, maintain good relations, and help each other.
One concept of social welfare in Islam is the importance of ukhuwah or brotherhood.
For example, motivating oneself to share one's fortune with others through charity can improve social relations and bring blessings to Economic Welfare Motivation to work hard and earn halal sustenance is also important in economic wellbeing.
Islam teaches the importance of working to fulfill life's needs in a halal manner.
For example, the hadith of the Prophet Muhammad SAW said, "Indeed.
Allah loves a servant who, when he works, works diligently and sincerely" (HR.
Musli.
Motivation to earn halal and blessed sustenance encourages individuals to behave with a good work ethic, which positively impacts economic and social well-being.
The Influence of Motivation on Behavior and Well-being in Psychological Perspective In psychology, the influence of motivation on individual behavior and well-being is more widely studied in the context of positive psychology, a study that emphasizes the development of individual potential, psychological well-being, and life satisfaction.
The following are some of the main influences of motivation on individual behavior and wellbeing in psychology:
Intrinsic Motivation and Psychological Well-Being Intrinsic motivation, the drive to do something enjoyable or satisfying for oneself, has been shown to improve psychological well-being.
In Deci and RyanAos Self-Determination Theory, individuals who are driven by intrinsic motivation are more satisfied, happier, and have more control over their lives.
Intrinsic motivation, such as doing work that aligns with oneAos interests or life goals, can increase feelings of competence and autonomy, thereby improving psychological well-being (Deci et al.
, 2.
Motivation for Achievement and Well-being Motivation that focuses on achieving personal goals or ambitions can significantly impact a personAos well-being, especially in terms of life satisfaction.
A person with a clear direction in life and who is motivated to achieve it tends to have higher life satisfaction.
However, if this motivation is centered on unrealistic or highly materialistic goals, it can lead to ongoing stress and dissatisfaction.
Research shows that achieving meaningful goals can increase life satisfaction and give a person a deeper sense of meaning (Al Mustaqim, 2.
The Influence of Motivation on Social Welfare and Interpersonal Relationships Motivation also significantly impacts interpersonal relationships and social well-being.
According to social motivation theory, individuals who are motivated to maintain good relationships with others tend to have better-quality relationships, which enhances social and emotional well-being.
For example, individuals who are motivated to provide emotional support to friends or family will feel more connected and happier in their relationships.
(Masduqie et al.
, 2.
Thus, from an Islamic and psychological perspective, motivation plays a vital role in shaping an individualAos behavior and well-being.
Both suggest that well-being is achieved through material success and positive spiritual and social development.
Pure and purposeful motivation results in productive behavior and contributes to overall well-being.
CONCLUSION
Motivation in Islam is rooted in the intention to gain Allah's pleasure, which drives individuals to act by religious teachings.
This motivation encompasses various aspects, including worship, good deeds, and morals.
Behavior-based on religious motivation creates worldly and spiritual well-being, which leads individuals to happiness in this world and the In psychology, motivation focuses on achieving individual goals and psychological well-being.
Intrinsic motivation is the drive to engage in activities that provide inner satisfaction and significantly influence psychological well-being.
In addition, motivation for personal achievement and healthy social relationships also play an important role in improving an individual's quality of life and happiness.
