There are various motivations to improve research data management. These include external factors, such as institutional policies, (inter)national legislation and requirements from funding bodies or publishers. But improved research data management also leads to better organisation and overview of your datasets, secure storage of data and preventing loss and damage. Good RDM helps increase research integrity because it makes research more transparent and allows reuse of research data where possible.
