Identify the step/ element which is not a part of motivation process.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → Relaxation
Option (1) Unsatisfied need — A part of the motivation process (Incorrect). It is the starting point of the process.
Option (2) Tension — A part of the motivation process (Incorrect). The unsatisfied need creates tension in the person.
Option (3) Relaxation — Not a part of the motivation process (Correct). The motivation model is: unsatisfied need, tension, drives, search behaviour, satisfied need and reduction of tension. It ends with “reduction of tension”, not “relaxation”. Relaxation is not one of its steps.
Option (4) Drives — A part of the motivation process (Incorrect). Tension stimulates the drives, which lead to search behaviour.
NCERT (2026-27 Edition): “Motivation Process: Motivation process is based on human needs. A simple model to explain motivation process is presented below.” “An unsatisfied need of an individual creates tension which stimulates his or her drives. These drives generate a search behaviour to satisfy such need. If such need is satisfied, the individual is relieved of tension.”
