The document discusses student motivation for pursuing an MBA degree. It defines motivation and discusses intrinsic and extrinsic motivation. Several motivation theories are explained, including Maslow's hierarchy of needs. Surveys were conducted of MBA students across disciplines on intrinsic and extrinsic motivation levels. Results found most students highly intrinsically motivated regardless of gender or discipline. The conclusion is that students have a positive attitude towards the MBA course and are mainly intrinsically motivated to join. Suggestions include improving the learning environment and cultivating value awareness of other courses. Limitations include the abstract nature of motivation and respondents' understanding.
