According to Vallerands (1997) overview, it can have four sources. People can be amotivated
because
they think they lack the ability to perform the behavior (capacityability beliefs);
they do not consider the strategies to be followed effective enough (strategy beliefs);
they think the effort required to reach the outcome is far too excessive (capacityeffort
beliefs);
they have the general perception that their efforts are inconsequential considering the
enormity of the task to be accomplished (helplessness beliefs).

Amotivation as defined by Deci and Ryan (1985) refers to the relative absence of motivation
that is not caused by a lack of initial interest but rather by the individuals experiencing
feelings of incompetence and
helplessness when faced with the activity

enthusiasm or interest in a particular activity. Wrong is also judging the demotivation is the total

the source of people's amotivation.

b) strategies may be ineffective
c) The fear of the amount of effort that is required to achieve the
