No. Willpower is self-control, but motivation is incentive.

For instance, consider the context of weight loss. Willpower is what you use to say no to the offer of cake or to push yourself to exercise when you really don't want to, but know that you must. Motivation here would be knowing you can fit into smaller clothes, knowing you made the team, being able to pass the physical fitness test, knowing you have better health, etc.
