Motivation and Resilience while working towards career goals in the absence of immediate job opportunities

Abstract

In order to determine what influences people's motivation for their jobs, this study examines the relationships between age, greatest level of education acquired, and present employment position and levels of motivation. The primary goal is to identify the key factors that influence motivation and provide insight into the ways that occupational and demographic factors affect an individual's drive to achieve their career goals. The data utilized in this research came from a survey that was distributed to a broad group of respondents and collected details on their educational backgrounds, employment status, and career aspirations. Using a multiple regression analysis, the study explores the relationship between age and motivation levels, predicting that age is a significant factor and that different age groups may exhibit different degrees of motivation. Additionally, the relationship between academic success and motivation is examined, indicating that higher education levels are linked to higher levels of motivation since they provide better opportunities for employment. The study investigates the correlation between motivation and work status, predicting that those without jobs or in unrelated professions are less motivated than those in positions aligned with their objectives. The regression model's results should identify age, education, or job position as the most significant predictor of motivation. The goal of the study is to offer a thorough understanding of the elements that drive career motivation, with a particular emphasis on the intricate interactions between personal and professional aspects that affect a person's aspirations for success in their work. By analyzing the regression model's overall fit, it advances our understanding of career motivation.
