Intrinsic/Extrinsic

Intrinsic motivators: rewards we wget internally, such as enjoyment or satisfaction

Extrinsic motivators: reward that earn for accomplishments from outside ourselves (grades or money, etc)
-work great in the short run

Over justification effect: promising a reward for doing something you like to do results in you seeking the reward as the motivation for performing the task
-this tends to diminish the intrinsic m motivation to do something

Management Theory

Theory X: mangers believes that employees will work only if rewarded with benefits or threatened with punishment

  • think employees are extrinsically motivated
  • only interested in Maslow's lower needs
Theory Y: managers believe that employees are internally motivated to do good work and policies should encourage this internal notice
  • interested in Maslow's higher needs
