Abstract  

Motivation plays a crucial role for every individual in the lives of individuals across all age groups. Motivation is essential for aged individuals as it contributes to their physical health, mental well-being, social connections, continued learning, and ability to cope with life transitions. Cultivating and maintaining motivation can empower older adults to lead fulfilling lives, stay active and engaged, and find joy and meaning in their daily experiences. There are researches on motivation which focused more on younger populations, but now there is a need for more comprehensive investigations into the motivation of elderly individuals. Understanding the factors that drive and influence their behaviors can have significant implications for promoting their well-being and quality of life. This paper makes an attempt to understand the implication of motivation on elderly people and how this factor plays a crucial role in enhancing their overall well-being and quality of life.
