This article has been mentioned by a media organization:

"Wikipleadia; The promise and perils of crowdsourcing content". The Economist. 2011-01-13. Archived from the original on 2011-01-15. Retrieved 2011-01-15. Time, perhaps, to consult Wikipedia's entry on motivation—though it turns out to be one of the articles flagged as needing expert attention.

The content of Natural and rational theories of motivation was merged into Motivation on 27 January 2018. The former page's history now serves to provide attribution for that content in the latter page, and it must not be deleted as long as the latter page exists. For the discussion at that location, see its talk page.

A member of the Guild of Copy Editors, Wikignome Wintergreen, reviewed a version of this article for copy editing on December 2020. However, a major copy edit was inappropriate at that time because of the other tags now found on this article. Once these issues have been addressed, and any related tags have been cleared, please tag the article once again for {{Copy edit}}. The Guild welcomes all editors with a good grasp of English.
