  (Knowledge Skill Ability)

Intrinsic Motivation

• Intrinsic motivation is the sense of satisfaction
  a person gets after a skilled performance which
  satisfies the creative instinct in a man.
• Intrinsic motivation is evident when people
  engage in an activity for its own sake, without
  some obvious external incentive present. A hobby
  is a typical example.
• Intrinsic motivation has been intensely studied
  since the 1970s, and numerous studies have found
  it to be associated with high educational
  achievement and enjoyment by students.
• Intrinsic motivation comes from within oneself.
• Intrinsic motivation is far more powerful than
  Extrinsic Motivation

Factors Promoting Intrinsic Motivation

Extrinsic Motivation

• Extrinsic motivation includes the recognition and
  the support received from the external sources
  like financial incentives, appreciation,
  admiration, of others, timely promotions etc.
• Extrinsic motivation is when I am motivated by
  external factors, as opposed to the internal
  drivers of intrinsic motivation. Extrinsic
  motivation drives me to do things for tangible
  rewards or pressures, rather than for the fun of
  it.
• Supermarkets use loyalty cards and discounts,
  airlines use air miles, companies use bonuses and
  commissions. Extrinsic motivation is everywhere

Theories Of Motivation
13
Need Hierarchy Theory
Abraham Maslow

• Human beings have wants and desires which
  influence their behaviour only unsatisfied needs
  can influence behaviour, satisfied needs cannot.
•  
• Since needs are many, they are arranged in order
  of importance, from the basic to the complex.
• The person advances to the next level of needs
  only after the lower level need is at least
  minimally satisfied.
•  
• The further the progress up the hierarchy, the
  more individuality, humanness and psychological
  health a person will show.

14
Need Hierarchy Theory

• Physiological needs - The individual moves up
  the ladder responding first to the basic needs
  for nourishment, clothing and shelter.
• Safety Needs Once physiological needs are
  satisfied, the need to be free from danger,
  either from the people or environment, emerges
  Individual wants to be assured about safety
  aspect. The safety needs may take the form of job
  security, security against disease, misfortune,
  old age etc
• Social Needs After the above two are met,
  social or affiliation needs emerge since man is a
  social being. He needs to belong and to be
  accepted in the society. It may also be termed as
  love need or the need to feel accepted.
• Esteem Needs Now the person wants to be
  accepted as someone distinguished person and not
  just a member of the group. The esteem need
  includes both self esteem and recognition and
  respect from others. The esteem level represent
  the higher needs like power achievement, status.
• Self Actualisation Now it comes to the fore.
  This level represents the culmination of lower,
  middle and higher need levels. In simple words,
  it is the maximisation of ones potential in his
  field. What a man can be, he must be.

15
Herzbergs Two Factor Theory

• Frederick Herzberg's two factor theory, concludes
  that certain factors in the workplace result in
  job satisfaction, while others do not, but if
  absent lead to dissatisfaction.
• He distinguished between
• Motivators (e.g. challenging work, recognition,
  responsibility) which give positive satisfaction
• Hygiene factors (e.g. status, job security,
  salary) which do not motivate if present, but if
  absent will result in demotivation.
• The name Hygiene factors is used because, like
  hygiene, the presence will not make you
  healthier, but absence can cause health
  deterioration.
• The theory is sometimes called the
  "Motivator-Hygiene Theory."
