The hiring manager wants to know whether the factors that motivate you are aligned with the company's goals and with the role in which you would be working. They want to know what drives you to succeed. For instance, there's a big difference between a candidate who's motivated by building teams and establishing strong relationships with coworkers and a candidate who works best independently.

Research the company and the job before the interview. The more you know about the organizational goals of the employer, the better equipped you'll be to respond. Be sure to keep your answer positive.

"I'm driven by results. I like having a concrete goal to meet and enough time to figure out a strong strategy for accomplishing it. At my last job, our yearly goals were very aggressive, but I worked with my manager and the rest of my team to figure out a month-by-month strategy for meeting the year-end numbers. It was a real thrill to accomplish that."
