Motivationsbezogen

Motivationsbezogen is a German adjective meaning related to motivation or motivated by motivation. It is formed from Motivation and bezogen (the participle of beziehen, meaning related or concerning). The term is used to qualify nouns to indicate a connection to motivational aspects, for example motivationsbezogene Faktoren (factors related to motivation) or motivationsbezogene Daten (data related to motivation).

In academic and professional contexts, the term appears in psychology, educational science, organizational studies, and market research. Researchers use motivationsbezogen to describe variables, hypotheses, measures, or interventions that focus on why people act the way they do, rather than on non-motivational determinants. The adjective can apply to individuals, groups, processes, and environments, for example eine motivationsbezogene Analyse or ein motivationsbezogener Ansatz.

The concept often appears alongside related terms such as motivationsorientiert (motivationally oriented) and motivationsabhängig (dependent on motivation). There are nuanced differences: motivationsbezogen emphasizes a relation to motivation, while motivationsorientiert emphasizes an orientation toward motivational factors, and motivationsabhängig indicates dependence on motivation.

In translation, motivationsbezogen is commonly rendered as “motivation-related” or, in some contexts, as “motivational.” It is chiefly used in German-language scholarly writing to describe analyses, models, or interventions that center on motivational factors.
