5. Intrinsic Motivation
Intrinsic motivation refers to motivation that
comes from inside an individual rather than
from any external or outside rewards.
Intrinsic motivation comes from the pleasure
one gets from the task itself or from the sense
of satisfaction in completing or even working
on a task.
6. Extrinsic Motivation
Extrinsic motivation refers to motivation that
comes from outside an individual. The
motivating factors are external, or outside,
rewards such as money or grades.
An extrinsically motivated person will work on
a task even when they have little interest in it
because of the anticipated satisfaction they
will get from some reward.
