Extrinsic motivation

A central tenet of economics is that people respond to incentives (Benabou and Tirole 2003). People are extrinsicaUy motivated if their needs are satisfied indirectly via pecuniary compensation, e.g., workers are given US 10 when they share construction safety knowledge on Facebook or the possible prospect of promotion (Cabrera and Cabrera 2002). Motivators as such do not provide direct utility but serves to acquire desired goods and services only (Margit and Frey 2000), Such view coincides perfectly with Reinforcement theory supporters (Davidsom and Griffin 2006). 

Nevertheless, extrinsic motivators like monetary reward may not always produce desirable effect as they might distract people s attention from work process to the goal of getting a reward. Optimal bonus can be zero or even negative (Benabou and Tirole 2003). A famous literary case comes from the whitewashed fence under the scene in the Adventure of Tom Sawyer, Mark Twain comments in order to make a man or a boy desire a thing, it is only necessary to make the thing difficult to obtain (Twain 1977).

The development of social responsibility can be seen as a dialectic between intrinsic (personal values) and extrinsic motivations (external pressures). This dialectic occurs at all three levels.

Motivation includes important constructs such as intrinsic and extrinsic motivation, goal orientation, self-determination, self-efficacy, and assessment anxiety (Glynn Koballa, 2006). Students often perform tasks for reasons that are both intrinsically and extrinsically motivated. For example, students who are intrinsically motivated to learn in a laboratory project often experience a flow—a state of concentration or being fully immersed, a feeling of energized focus, full involvement, and enjoyment in the process of the project (Csikszentmihalyi, 2000). They may also be extrinsically motivated by the prospect of receiving a prize from their teacher if they are able to complete the project.

What constitutes the intention or the desire to engage in something How do students attitudes, beliefs, values, and goals influence such intentions These crucial questions are researched by motivational theories. A very influential motivation theory is the self-determination theory of Deci und Ryan (1985, 2000). In this theory, extrinsic motivation is related to external factors (e.g., the desire to have... 

Intrinsically motivated behavior is performed voluntarily, without external incentives, and is autotelic (Csikszentmihalyi, 1975). However, different states of motivation can be distinguished. Whereas, in the former conceptualizations, extrinsic and intrinsic motivation had been seen as two diverse poles, Deci und Ryan (1985) described steps between purely intrinsic and purely extrinsic motivation. Those steps can also be understood as the development of more stable and long-lasting attitudes and interests and are, therefore, closely connected.

The participants are told that the goal of the experiment is to generate as many solutions to the design problem as possible, where a prize wiU be given to participants with the greatest number of solutions. This prize is an extrinsic motivation for participants to devote serious effort to the design activity. 

Because global feedback was just as effective as specific feedback when social comparison feedback was included, we presumed most of the 97 employees of the soft-drink bottling facility did not need an instructional intervention. They knew how to perform their jobs safely but needed some extrinsic motivation to follow the nine safety policies implied by the nine target behaviors. This was provided by a global percent safe score from a similar work group. 

This type of conversation should also be the approach at most athletic events. Individuals and teams in a sports contest do not typically need motivation. The situation itself, from fan support to peer pressure, often provides plenty of extrinsic motivation. Such competitors need directional focus for their motivation. They need to know what specific behaviors are needed to win in various situations. This said, my personal experience with athletic coaches is not consistent with this analysis. For example, are the half-time speeches of team coaches more likely to be directional or motivational ... 

The motivational dimension in the SRL model includes aspects such as interest in learning, intrinsic motivation, extrinsic motivation and self-efficacy beliefs [10,11]. 

Where a person s needs are satisfied, this will bring him/her to a high level of motivation, while the prevention of this satisfaction will compromise it. The self-determination theory describes the origin of motivation as a spectrum spanning between extrinsic and intrinsic factors. At one end lies Extrinsic Motivation, which includes four types of regulation ...

Besides, where the intrinsic and extrinsic motivation can clearly be separated under symmetric information, agent and principle under asymmetric information cannot. When the agent is not sure about the principle s ability, intrinsic motivation drops with the level of the bonus. A reward can be a good positive reinforcement in short term only, but it usually decreases in the future (Benabou and Tirole 2003).
