Assignment 8th Intrinsically motivated versus extrinsically motivatedIn order to differentiate an individual about the being intrinsically motivated or extrinsically motivated, it is important to know the definitions of these two terms. The Extrinsic motivation is said to have occurred when one is performing certain behavior after getting motivated, that is may be for engaging in an activity for earning better rewards or for avoiding punishment. So, to cite examples for extrinsic motivation, can be studying by an individual for achieving good grades, or may be cleaning the room, so as to avoid scolding from parents, or taking participation in an award-winning sports category, or contesting in a competition to win scholarship. So, if we check the above examples, the fundamental thing we get is that, extrinsically motivated behavior is based only on certain desire to achieve something maybe in the form of prizes or rewards and also to avoid any adverse effects like that of getting rebuked or receiving punishments. So, it significantly states that, people who are extrinsically motivated may not be enjoying the act they are into but is only doing to avoid adverse effects or to gain reward [ CITATION AHM54 \l 1033 ]. On the other hand, Intrinsic Motivation involves an individual in a behavior which is self-rewarding or self- satisfying, that is someone is doing something or performing an activity only for the sake of their individual happiness. Examples include, taking participation in a sport only due to the reason that, that particular sports are enjoyable to that individual, again, when someone finds that solving word puzzle is quite challenging or exciting. So, if we take a look at these example, we can find that, it is only the internal desire of the participant who is taking part in the activity only for the sake of self- satisfaction or self- enjoyment [CITATION BFS48 \l 1033 ]. But, often it is seen that, offer of excessive external rewards within an already internally rewarding behavior causes reduction in intrinsic motivation, called the over justification effect. The extrinsic motivation is never a bad thing and are beneficial in some situations and is important in situations where a person feels uneasy or is reluctant to do something, then to make that individual complete that task requires external rewards which will then help in inducing the interest and participation in to that act, in which the individual initially had no interest.So, when an intrinsically motivated individual needs motivation, then any kind of external rewards in an unexpected manner will help in increasing the motivation, so when an experienced nurse loves doing the job, and hence is intrinsically motivated then, to motivate her further requires external rewards, in the form of pay hike, or promotion. On the other hand, an extrinsically motivated individual to be motivated requires, goal setting, in such a way that, people will be rewarded based on their outcome which gets measured [ CITATION Ric04 \l 1033 ].
