Zrozumienie motywacyjnego charakteru prawa i jego mechanizmu jest kluczowe dla poznania wpływu prawa na zachowanie jednostek w społeczeństwie. W niniejszym artykule zaproponowano nowatorskie podejście do motywacji prawnej. W tym celu w pierwszej kolejności przeanalizowano podejście do motywacji w ramach psychologii i prawa. W dalszej części przedstawiono zarys koncepcji motywacji prawnej oraz przeanalizowano jej podstawowe elementy: wyobrażenia oraz emocje. W proponowanym podejściu zostały wyróżnione motywacja prawna intuicyjna i pozytywna. Podstawą rozróżnienia motywacji prawnej na intuicyjną oraz pozytywną jest posiadanie lub brak wyobrażeń zasad normatywnych. Proponowana w artykule koncepcja motywacji prawnej pozwala przyjąć szerszą perspektywę na motywacyjne działanie prawa.
