The World Society of Motivation Scientists and Professionals is a nonprofit organization providing forums for translational models of human needs, or life motives.

We encourage matching technologies that place individuals in situations that naturally motivate them. We promote tolerance and understanding of diverse personalities.

We encourage research on life motives, universal human values, and associated personality traits.

We support the translation of motivation science for athletic pursuits; business consultation; business management; counseling; executive coaching; health care/ wellness (motivating patient compliance with health regimens including fitness); human resources; intellectual disabilities and autism; leadership; media psychology; mental health (anxiety and stress); relationship counseling (marital and premarital); school psychology; self-determination; spirituality, team building; and vocational counseling.
