I just ran across this article about Character Motivation. Ilona Andrews talks a little bit about what motivations are and why they are important.

"Motivation of the character is absolutely crucial to the success of the story. Give the character a proper motivation and readers will follow him to hell. The stronger the motivation, the better is the ride."

The whole article is here:
