Motivation «from», motivation «to» — two opposite types of motivation. Almost the same as positive and negative motivation.
“If I sort it out on the table, I’ll get a candy” or “If I don’t mess around, I’ll get a candy” — positive motivation, motivation “to”. “If I sort it out on the table, then they won’t punish me” or “if I don’t indulge, then they won’t punish me” — negative motivation, motivation “from”.
