A good question indeed!!
HR Manager is expected to be a leader and therefore expected to have one of the qualities, i.e., "Self-Motivated."
In my opinion, HR plays the role of a mother. A mother gets motivated when her children score high, move high, and return gratitude.
The use of the terminology "Human Resources" is gradually being replaced by "Human Capital." Therefore, every asset is expected to be maintained periodically. One of the maintenance tasks required for the staff is "periodic motivation." Else, the asset will experience a breakdown.

Recognition, acceptance, and completion of assigned tasks in time motivate HR. Since HR is a motivator, these things automatically motivate them, and they will be fully charged. After all, HR is just a matter of common sense; you should know how to deal with and execute things. Strike while the iron is hot...

As truly said by many people here, HR has to be self-motivated as they have taken up the responsibility of motivating others. During the time of recruiting HR staff, this characteristic has to be kept in mind. In fact, when a person chooses HR as a career, it should not be because he is not left with any other option. Talking to people, listening to them, counseling, helping in difficult times should be a passion for him/her. Such a person would never find himself demotivated as his source of motivation will be the satisfaction he derives by listening to others and helping them.
Nevertheless, HR staff are also human beings, and they also face ups and downs in life; they can also be demotivated. At that time, the first support comes from their colleagues - i.e., other members of HR, their reporting officer/senior. Also, if they have really helped other employees during their problems, support will come from them.

I think motivation is a kind of give-and-take relationship. Right management will surely motivate every employee. Bad management will be destructive (self-destructive too). It all depends on which management you are working under! Like someone said, "self-actualization" plays a major role in motivational aspects. Motivation may not only come from the boss or team; it can also come from reading books, watching documentaries (on specific subjects), and exposing oneself to other working environments. This question is a kind of "egg first or hen first"!

At the end of the day, even HR is a human being, so it's impossible for them to be self-motivated always. Like their counterparts, they too depend on various internal and external sources of motivation.
HRs are generally considered to be in 'respectable' positions in the organization. Even senior employees from other departments address HRs by prefixing with 'Sir/Madam'. This is not the case with sales employees. This respect motivates HRs to remain dedicated to their roles.
HRs are typically more sensitive by nature. Even small gestures of respect or appreciation from their colleagues can have a significant impact on them, further motivating them to perform better for the company.
HRs are constantly required to expand their knowledge. They are often found reading books on leadership, motivation, biographies, etc., which serves as a source of motivation for their professional development.
They are aware of the criteria for appraisals and understand how their performance can impact their evaluations. This knowledge motivates them to adhere to the 'dos' of their tasks, fostering self-motivation to efficiently carry out their responsibilities.
The number of HR vacancies in organizations is usually limited, given the typical ratio of other employees to HRs being around 100:1. This scarcity motivates HR professionals to take pride in their work, as there are numerous employees vying for their positions.
While vacancies and initial salaries for HR roles may be low, there is a shortage of highly qualified HR leaders. Consequently, they are well-compensated according to industry standards. These incentives serve as additional motivation to excel in their roles.
HR professionals wield power in organizations and are entrusted with designing work environments and shaping the professional growth of other employees. This responsibility presents a challenging yet motivating opportunity to contribute to the overall organizational development.
No one reaches the stage of self-actualization overnight; it involves progressing through various levels of motivation. The reasons mentioned above are just a few examples; there are many more aspects to consider. Your feedback and inquiries are highly appreciated.

HR has to be self-motivated because they have to motivate others. They have to seize each and every opportunity to motivate others; if not you, then no one in the organization can work enthusiastically. Yes, HR are also human beings; they need motivation from others to move ahead in life. So, how will they get motivation? By witnessing employees' overwhelming performance and improvement, their smiling faces, their respect towards you, and by coming to you with their problems because they trust you. When you address employees' queries and solve them, at the end of the day, they will be happy, and so will you. :)

@ Mayank: You very beautifully summed up some common thoughts in your seven points. I very well agree with you that if the HR personnel are sincerely involved in their work, they'll find ways of self-motivation. Mr. Abraham Maslow will be happy that his theory is practicable as the HR people find solace in fulfilling their Esteem Needs and vice versa!
