MOTIVATION
There are many theories that explain the importance of motivation in a company or in any situation of the personal life. In this time we are going to focus in the Pygmalion Effect.
The Pygmalion Effect tryes to explain how the perceptions of an outcome or expectative (positive or negative) can affect the outcome itself or the target performance. If there is a positive expectative, the person will do everything trying to accomplish the goal and this is materialized in the achievement of the goal.
In conclussion: Perceiver's expectation will affect perceiver's behavior towards target, an this at the same time will affect the target behavior.

Task #3:
A common example of the Pygmalion Effect is applied in the schools: When the school makes for example intelligence tests and the performance of the student in the exam is good, the student will feel that he is intelligent and his performance in other school activities will improve.
The same situation is applied when an employee is congratulated by his boss, the employee will feel that is doing well his activities and will have a positive attitude towards the goals he has to accomplish.
