Answer 2

Initiation of effort is concerned with the choices that people make about how much effort to put forth in their jobs, whereas direction of effort is concerned with the choices that people make in deciding where to put forth effort in their jobs.

Step-by-step explanation:

When a person is well motivated to do a job then the two concepts (initiation and direction) are influenced.

Initiation stage involves decision on how much effort to use in the endeavour. When a person is well motivated he subconsciously decides to put in his best to make the project succeed.

Direction is more of executive phase where decisions are made on where to apply effort in order to achieve goals.
