Often, the reasons people come to work for a firm are not the reasons they leave the firm.

Story:
There was once a great war between two countries. On a hot afternoon, a man in civilian clothes was riding past a small group of tired soldiers digging a huge pit, doing a seemingly impossible task.
The group leader was shouting orders and threatening punishment if the work was not completed within the hour.
The man riding the horse stopped and asked, Sir, why cant you help them yourself? The group leader replied, I am the leader. The men do as I tell them. If you feel so strongly, go help them! The man worked with the soldiers till the job was finished! Before leaving, he congratulated the soldiers for their work, and approaching the group leader said, The next time your status prevents you from supporting your people, inform your higher authorities and I will provide a more permanent solution. The group leader was completely surprised. Only now he realised that the man was in fact the army general!
Need:
In order to inspire people to motivate themselves, we need to understand their needs and wants. A need is a deficiency experienced by an individual. Eg: Less salary, Less marks.
Need create tension that stimulates drives with in the individual. The greater the tension, the higher the effort level. If these effort successfully leads to the satisfaction of the need, tension is reduced.

Abraham Maslow was a Clinical Psychologist who, in 1943 presented this theory. He argued that human beings are wanting animals. They have innate desires to satisfy a given set of needs.
Further more, Maslow believed these needs are arranged in a hierarchy of importance, with the most basic need at the bottom of hierarchy.

The 3 sets of needs at the bottom of the hierarchy are called deficiency needs or basic needs, because they must be satisfied for the individual to be fundamentally comfortable. The top two sets of need are termed growth needs or meta needs, because they focus on personal growth and development.

Motivation Factors
The motivation factor is the most important of the two sets of factors, because they directly affect a person's motivational drive to do a good job. According to Hertzberg, building motivation factors into a job produces job satisfaction. When these factors are present, they lead to superior performance and effort on the part of job incumbents. Motivation factors lead to positive mental health and challenge people to grow, contribute to the work environment, and invest themselves in the organization. When they are absent, the person will be de-motivated to perform well and achieve excellence.
Hygiene Factors
These factors relate to the context of the job and may be considered support factors. Job dissatisfaction occurs when the hygiene factors are either not present or not sufficient. They do not directly affect a person's motivation to work but influence the extent of the person's discontent. These factors cannot stimulate psychological growth or human development. Excellent hygiene factors result in employees' being not dissatisfied and contribute to the absence of complaints about these contextual considerations.
