| contents | Context: Requirements Engineering (RE)-related activities are critical in developing quality software and one of the most human-dependent processes in software engineering (SE). Hence, identifying the impact of diverse human-related aspects on RE is crucial in the SE context. Objective: Our study explores the impact of one of the most influential human aspects, motivation on RE, aiming to deepen understanding and provide practical guidance. Method: By conducting semi-structured interviews with 21 RE-involved practitioners, we developed a theory using socio-technical grounded theory(STGT) that explains the contextual, causal, and intervening conditions influencing motivation in RE-related activities. Result: We identified strategies to enhance motivating situations or mitigate demotivating ones, and the consequences resulting from applying these strategies. Conclusion: Our findings offer actionable insights for software practitioners to manage the influence of motivation on RE and help researchers further investigate its role across various SE contexts in the future. |
