In this paper, we have examined the role of motivation, ambition, and inspiration in shaping human productivity. Some people have a passion for action and want to become productive, but fail to do so because they feel demotivated. Motivation is a surge characterised by subjective emotional states that arouse positive feelings and productive instincts. Humanity has repeatedly observed the effects of motivation on human beings, and how motivation coupled with ambitions have shaped the nature of human productivity. These two factors are among the prime determinants of productivity enhancements—the endogenous factors, to say so. Productivity has economic significances and is the foundational basis of the theory of firm. In this paper, we discuss about how motivational states can augment and enhance human efficiency, and shape productivity.
