Abstract

Motivation improvement of researchers is essential to facilitate knowledge creation for innovation aim in research and development organizations. This is because the knowledge that is the source of innovation is ultimately created by individual researchers themselves, and motivation is a determining factor in the quality of research and development activities performed by those researchers. According to previous research into the relationship between creativity and motivation, intrinsic motivation is necessary for individual creative realization. Our research has as its goal the creation of a process model for research and development management that allows for continued improvement of motivation. By adding a mechanism to increase motivation for further research to support the creation of knowledge, and conducted research aims to conduct more effective innovation.
