OUTLINE
*Definition of Motivation
*Types of Motivation
*Intrinsic Motivation
*Extrinsic Motivation
Motivation is the process that initiates, guides, and maintains goal-oriented behaviors. In
everyday usage, the term "motivation" is frequently used to describe why a person does
something. It is the driving force behind human actions.
Types of Motivation
Intrinsic motivation refers to the act of doing something that does not have any obvious
external rewards. You do it because it’s enjoyable and interesting to you, not because of any
outside incentive or pressures, like rewards or deadlines. In short, intrinsic motivation is
performing an activity for its own sake rather than the desire for some external reward or out of
some external pressure. Essentially, the behavior itself is its own reward.
Extrinsic motivation refers to the behavior of individuals to perform tasks and learn new
skills because of external rewards or avoidance of punishment. In this case, you engage in
behavior not because you enjoy it or because you find it appealing or satisfying, but in order to
obtain something of value in return or avoid something unpleasant.
2. Distinguish between extrinsic and intrinsic motivation. Give an example for each.
Intrinsic Motivation Examples Playing sports because you enjoy how they make you feel Staying
longer at work because you believe in your work
Using positive affirmations because you want to change your mindset positively
Investing money because you want to become financially independent
3. justify the role that extrinsic motivation plays in the development of intrinsic
motivation.
Extrinsic motivation is our desire to perform a task because of incentives or rewards. So,
because of that reward that triggers you to do a certain task, it develops your motivation from
within or the so called intrinsic motivation.
