  • The purpose of this study is to develop a new and integrative theory of motivation, which is drawn from the existing theories and data. In doing so, a multi-paradigm approach to theory building was adopted. The method used to analyze the existing theories and research data is a combination of meta-ethnography and grounded theory. The second phase of the study employed thought experiment method to test the newly developed theoretical propositions of motivational force. The first phase of the study revealed a central phenomenon for the occurrence of motivational force, i.e. â��In Search for Anchorâ��. â��In Search for Anchorâ�� is a resultant of the paradox between freedom to choose and human vulnerability in facing the future. â��Freedom to chooseâ�� is the central point of a motivational model that includes â��urgeâ��, â��challengeâ��, â��incentiveâ��, and â��meaningâ��. Together, the five components play the role as motivational sources, which characterized by a holisticdynamic- integrative interaction. Human vulnerability is the other side of the motivational model that comprises risk, uncertainty, and hope. Risk, uncertainty, and hope dynamically interwoven in producing or ignite motivational force. The dynamic interaction of risk, uncertainty, and hope is represented in a mathematical formula that produces strength of the force. The mathematical formula is = (R â�� U)2 x H, which then tested in the second phase of study through thought experiment. Thought experiment was conducted in four studies with variation in the scenarios. The topic of the scenarios is related to learning process in college. The participants for the experiments are college students, with a total number of 51, 40, 82, and 54 for each study. From eight measures, all but one significantly supported the hypothesis. The implication of the study and the utility of the new theory are discussed.
