Extrinsic Motivation
Extrinsic motivation refers to behavior that is driven by external rewards
such as money, fame, grades, and praise.
This type of motivation arises from outside the individual, as opposed to
intrinsic motivation, which originates inside of the individual.
12

Intrinsic Motivation
Intrinsic motivation refers to behavior that is driven by internal rewards.
In other words, the motivation to engage in a behavior arises from within the
individual because it is intrinsically rewarding.
This contrasts with extrinsic motivation, which involves engaging in a behavior
in order to earn external rewards or avoid punishments.

Positive Motivation

by providing both monetary and non- monetary benefits.
The positive reward can be measured in terms of money, monetary incentives
increment in salary, cash rewards, bonus payment, share profit and pension and
etc.

Negative Motivation
Negatives motivation initiates to hold out some punishment to employees to
induce desired behavior.
The negative motivation is measured in terms of monetary punishments,
penalties, reduction of remuneration, bonus allowances, and reduction other
financial incentives.

negative motivation also plays important role, so it can't be avoided.

Perspective of Motivation
Instinct Theory.
Drive‐Reduction Theory.
Arousal Theory.
Hierarchy of Motives.
16

Instinct Theory
According to instinct theories, people are
motivated to behave in certain ways
because they are evolutionarily
programmed to do so.
An example of this in the animal world is
seasonal migration.
These animals do not learn to do this, it is
instead an inborn pattern of behavior.
17

Drive‐Reduction Theory.
People are motivated to take certain actions in
order to reduce the internal tension that is caused
by unmet needs.
For example, you might be motivated to drink a
glass of water in order to reduce the internal state
of thirst.
This theory is useful in explaining behaviors that
have a strong biological component, such as
hunger or thirst.
For example, people often eat even when they
are not really hungry.
18

Arousal Theory
It suggest to people take certain actions to either decrease or increase levels of
arousal.
When arousal levels get too low, for example, a person might watch and exciting
movie or go for a jog.
When arousal levels get too high, on the other hand, a person would probably
look for ways to relax such as meditating or reading a book.
According to this theory, we are motivated to maintain an optimal level of
arousal, although this level can vary based on the individual or the situation.
19

Hierarchal Need Theory
Abraham Maslow (1970)
suggested some needs have
priority over others.
Physiological needs like
breathing, thirst and hunger
come before psychological
needs like achievement,
self‐esteem and need for
recognition.
