Factors Influencing Effort[edit | edit source]
Several factors can influence the amount of effort a person is willing to put into a task. These include:
- Motivation: A person's motivation can greatly influence the amount of effort they put into a task. If a person is highly motivated, they are likely to put in more effort.
- Ability: A person's ability can also influence the amount of effort they put into a task. If a task is beyond a person's ability, they may not be able to put in the necessary effort to complete it.
- Expectations: The expectations of others can also influence the amount of effort a person puts into a task. If a person is expected to perform at a high level, they may put in more effort to meet these expectations.
