Abstract

Motivation is an intrinsic and/or extrinsic force that inspires to continue on a certain
path or purpose. In the case of university students, to complete their education and
obtain the expected academic degree. However, motivation is usually associated
with external elements, such as economic, family, social, and personal. That is why
this research aims to determine the relationship between the social economic crisis
and its impact on university student motivation. In order to meet this challenge, a
quantitative methodology was used. It is a descriptive field research. The techniques
and instruments applied will be the survey, interview and observation of university
students who voluntarily and anonymously decided to participate in this research.
The results showed that university students have had to enter the labor field in order
to be able to pay university expenses and support their families, since with the
economic crisis that the country is going through, income has decreased in the
homes of the Ecuadorian population. Therefore, we conclude that the economic and
social crisis has had a negative impact on the motivation of university students,
making it increasingly difficult for them to continue their studies.
