Performance attributes of an individual are determined by ability and motivation. Ability is made up of a collection of physical and mental capacities that enable a person to exhibit a skill or set of skills. Knowledge, experience, and skill form the ability to complete a task successfully (Hersey et al., 2008). Motivation influences the vigor and diligence with which an individual applies his or her capability to a task (Nauright, 1987).
