Learn in the textbookThe Fraud Triangle and Human Vulnerabilities
DefinitionMotivation (動機) is the personal circumstances or pressure that drive a person toward fraud.
ExplanationExamples include worries over living costs or debt, feeling cornered by a sales target that is hard to reach, and strong dissatisfaction with one's performance review. Because it is rooted in a person's own circumstances and feelings, an organization can hardly eliminate it entirely, but an easy-to-reach consultation desk and realistic targets can weaken it.
AnalogyIt is like hunger. The hungrier you are, the more you want to reach for the food in front of you.
