摘要:This paper explores what motivates college students at different stages of their academic studies. Using Herzberg’s two-factor theory, the researchers conducted a survey of 535 students in three south-western universities to determine if motivations changed throughout their academic careers. Results showed that students at different stages of their college careers have different concern s and, as such, different motivational strategies are needed to respond to their concerns. Implications are given to grow and retain enrolment.
