When a person plans or wants to do something, he or she has a motivation for that specific thing. In other words, when a person does something, that person has a reason why he or she should do that thing. Not always there is a reason to do something, but sometimes may be many reasons that are backing a person to take those actions to do it. This happens not only to humans, or living organisms, but also in nonliving organisms. An example is when a rock which had bounced after it hit the floor while falling down. Scientists may tell some of the reasons why the rock does that kind of action, but they cannot tell all of the reasons that back the rock’s actions. A similar thing, as the scientists, was Alfie Kohn trying to do in his essay, “Why …show more content…
The reason is that the reward is not the main thing that is backing up the action; but something else that could be self-develop, peace, etc. An example is a boy does his homework just because he was told by his parents to do his homework. Based on that the boy believes that his parents know what is best for him to do.
On the other hand, extrinsic motivation is when a person takes actions knowing that at the end of that action there is a reward waiting for him or her. In this case, the person does it not because thinking about self-development, peace, etc. but about the reward. An example could be that the boy’s mother will not let the boy watch his favorite cartoons, until he finishes his homework. That way the boy will finish his homework just to be able to watch the cartoons, but does not care if he fully understands the materials on which the homework was about.
Third possibility is the both type of motivations, intrinsic and extrinsic, are the reason for someone’s action. It is when the person is doing something knowing there is going to be a reward at the end, also during that action the person will develop in skills, professionalism, etc. The example could be taken from the essay that Kohn wrote. The reward that Kohn could have got is being paid for writing the essay, with the main back up that the action will bring development of experiences in writing professionally. Another example could be a man runs in a burning building to save his neighbor’s kid. That man
Intrinsic motivation is the concept that desire for something stems from within; there is no external incentive. Extrinsic motivation is the opposite; an external incentive is necessary for an action or behavior to occur. Intrinsic motivation is a greater measurement of staying true to one’s identity because the desire stems from within the individual, as opposed to the individual being a product of their surroundings.
“Motivation is the process whereby goal-orientated activity is instigated and sustained” (Schunk, Pintrich & Meece, 2008. As cited in Eggen & Kauchak, 2010, p.284). Motivation comes in many forms and can be divided into two broad categories - extrinsic and intrinsic motivation. Extrinsic motivators are external
Extrinsic Motivation is when you engage yourself in a particular activity, in order to earn a reward or avoid a punishment of a sort. Various activities apply to this source of motivation; these include: studying, because you want to achieve a high mark, and competing in competitions to earn money or help support a noble cause.
Extrinsic motivation it is the motivation brought about by what a person is getting from a certain task, rather than interest in the task. An example of extrinsic motivation is when a student who is not particularly interested in math works hard in order to attain a good grade, and in a working person’s life, it could be working on a task that is not necessarily interesting to him/her, but that is giving a good amount of financial reward. A good example of intrinsic motivation is working as a volunteer in a children’s home because taking care of children is of personal interest and satisfaction, to the person, despite getting no reward.
Extrinsic motivation, is factors of motivation that come from an external source, motivation gained from another individual than itself, Oppose from Intrinsic motivation, that is gained from inside the individual oppose from another source, this motivation is gained through finish a action e.g. scoring a goal.
Extrinsic motivation refers to the performance of an action to obtain an outcome (Study.com, n. d.). Unlike intrinsic motivation where one performs an action for its own sake, extrinsic motivation is to obtain external reward and is influenced by external factors. This type of motivation is also highly
In the Mr Mathews case study, he assists at the nursing home and this is an example of being intrinsically motivated. After the death of his wife he no longer visits the nursing home, and an example of extrinsic motivation would be if the nursing home offered Mr Mathews a monetary reward for assisting (Harvey, 2015). In this sense there would be a reward for Mr Mathews to return to the nursing home and assist with the activities, in the form of money. The money would be the external
Extrinsic motivation is geared toward external rewards and reinforcer’s such as money, praise, awards, etc. Intrinsic motivation is geared toward internal rewards and reinforcer’s such as enjoyment, achievement, a sense of competence, etc. I have an intrinsic motivation. My goal in life is to be as happy as possible and I get happy when I am satisfied with my work. I don’t need money or praise for my work, what I need is a satisfaction.

Interviewer: Extrinsic motivation refers to our tendency to perform activities for known external rewards, whether they are tangible or psychological in nature (Brown, 2007). Extrinsic benefits, in this situation, will contain needing a place or location of ease and having animals that can give you some reinforcement.
Extrinsic motivation involves external incentives such as rewards and punishers. When we are extrinsically motivated we engage in a behavior for an external payoff or to avoid an external punishment. Intrinsic motivation is based on internal factors such as organismic needs as well as curiosity, challenge, and fun. When we are intrinsically motivated, we engage in a behavior because we enjoy it (King, 2014, p. 338). I observed both intrinsic and extrinsic motivation in the same situation. With so many people living in the house we must take turns cooking dinner and in this instance, it was my brother and sisters turn to cook. My sister loves cooking, she was experiencing intrinsic motivation. Whereas my brother does not enjoy this task, but my brother knows that he will not get to go out with his friends if he does not help with dinner. My brother was extrinsically motivated in this situation.
Intrinsic/Internal Rewards are obtained from within the individual. This could be an employee feelings good about a job they performed and taking pride in it.
g. Motivating reward can either be intrinsic or extrinsic. An intrinsic reward appeals to a person’s desire for self-actualization, curiosity, enjoyment, or interest in the work itself. An extrinsic reward appeals to a person’s desire for attainment distinct from the work itself: a cash bonus, a promotion, or stock options.
Baron (1983) says that “motivation is a set of process concerned with a kind of force that energizes behavior and directs it towards achieving some specific goals” (Baron, 1983, p. xxx). According to Kreitner and Kinicki (2001, p.162) motivation represents “those psychological processes that cause the stimulation, persistence of voluntary actions that are goal directed”. Consequently, these definitions lead to the assumption that motivation is something evolving from within an individual as well as the individual being influenced by external factors.
Intrinsic motivation can be defined as “motivation associated with activities that are their own reward” (Perry 2003). It is motivation that stems from your inner feelings and views which feed your desires to accomplish and perform. Oppositely, extrinsic motivation is “motivation created by external factors such as rewards and punishments” (Perry 2003). When you are extrinsically motivated, you are only performing the task for what you will gain from completion. On the other hand, when we are intrinsically motivated, there is no requirement for external rewards or punishments
