ADAPTED FROM: RYAN AND DECI (2000) - INTRINSIC AND EXTRINSIC MOTIVATIONS: CLASSIC DEFINITIONS AND NEW DIRECTIONS MOTIVATION

What motivates you to do your job well? What motivates you to go to the gym ? What motivates you to call your mother ?

NO MOTIVATION AT ALL Not motivated at all because: -doesn’t value the activity -Doesn’t feel competent -Doesn’t believe it is possible to reach the required result

TWO TYPES OF MOTIVATION Intrinsic – you love what you do; you enjoy doing it; Extrinsic – you do it because you get rewarded in some way or because you get punished if you don’t do it

INTRINSIC You enjoy what you do because : -It is interesting; it’s challenging -You are good at it (even though it’s a challenge) -You are in control; it’s your responsibility

EXTRINSIC You do your job because you get a reward : -The bigger the reward  the more motivated you are -The bigger the possibility of getting the reward  the more motivated you are

REWARD Immediate reward : bonus Long term reward : degree, promotion, salary increase

LONG TERM VISION I could be rewarded later : -Promotion -Good pension -Good company (stable, good name, good package) -Seniority

NON PHYSICAL REWARD Subject acts to: -Avoid guilt (I got this job because of my father; my parents would worry if I didn’t have this job) -Avoid anxiety (I don’t feel good if I don’t do this job well) -Feel better about themselves -Get approval from themselves or others (parents will be proud)

INTRINSIC OR EXTRINSIC? Some people start working somewhere for money but they end up liking what they do. = first extrinsic, afterward intrinsic How does that happen?

HOW DOES THAT HAPPEN? Competence: I’m good at this! Leadership: good boss Atmosphere: good colleagues Gained interest
