Motivation

Characters act for two reasons: (1) the author wants certain things to happen in a story, and (2) the actions further a character's objectives. The latter is motivation; when it is bad, the reader becomes angry with the apparent stupidity or illogic of the character, and disengages. See Plot-Driven.
