experiences, which are stimulated by the activity itself.

interpreted as follows:
1. An attitude that takes place continuously that gives a pattern to a
person's attention so that he is selective about the object of his
interest.
2. A feeling that states that a work activity or object is valuable or
meaningful to the individual.
3. A motivational state or set of motivations that guide behavior in a
particular direction.
