INTRINSIC MOTIVATION

Presented by : Amiya Mariyam Tomy

MOTIVATION
 Motivation refers to forces that account for the
level of direction and persistence of effort in an
individual.

 Motivation is derived from the latin

word movere which means to move.

 Motivation is one's direction to behaviour, or

what causes a person to want to repeat a
behaviour, a set of force that acts behind the
motives.
INTRINSIC AND EXTRINSIC

An individual's motivation may be inspired

by others or events (extrinsic
motivation)or it may come from within the
individual (intrinsic motivation)
Intrinsic and Extrinsic motivation are
completely in contrast with each other in the
manner they work. In short, intrinsic
motivation refers to getting motivated from
the inside or self-motivation. On the other
hand, extrinsic motivation refers to the
motivation caused because of exterior
factors. Now we are going to discuss
about Intrinsic Motivation.
INTRINSIC MOTIVATION

The act of being motivated by internal factors to

perform certain actions and behavior is called
intrinsic motivation. In other words, intrinsic
motivation means doing something just because
you want to. There is neither pressure nor any sort
of reward for your actions, but you still do them
because you want to or you believe it’s the right
thing to do.

The needs or causes that lead to

intrinsic motivation are:
•Self Determination theory

•Edward Deci and Richard Ryan(1975)

•Autonomy: the need to have complete

control over one’s own life.

•Relatedness: the need to maintain

companionship or connection
•Competence: the need to do be the
best and/or succeed
 Maslow's Need Hierarchy Theory
 Alderfer’s ERG theory
 Herzberg's Theory
 McClelland's Learned Needs
 Goal Setting Theory
MASLOW’S NEED HIERARCHY

According to Maslow(1970) needs exist in a hierarchy

.Only when lower need are satisfied can higher order
needs be activated and serve as source of motivation

•Deficit Principle

•Progression Principle
ERG THEORY
•Clayton Alderfer
•This theory identifies existence, relatedness and growth
needs.

•Existence needs are desires for physiological and material

well being.

•Relatedness needs are desires for satisfying interpersonal

relationships

•Growth needs are desires for continued personal growth

and development.
 Frustration regression component
 More than one need can be activated at at
the same time
HERZBERG’S THEORY

•Frederick Herzberg

•This theory identifies two factors in

motivation

•Hygiene factors which are sources of

dissatisfaction

•Motivator which are sources of satisfaction

MCCLELLAND’S LEARNED NEEDS

•David McClelland

•Acquired needs theory

•Need for Achievement- desire to do

something better

•Need for Power- desire to control other

person

•Need for Affiliation- desire to maintain and

establish friendly and warm relations
GOAL SETTING THEORY

•Locke & Latham ,1990

•The view that motivation can be strongly

influenced by goals

•Goals direct attention, task persistence and

development of task for accomplishing goal
•Four premises

•Goals should be specific,

attainable and challenging
Advantages
•Hobbies and passion are mostly the result
of intrinsic motivation.
•This form of motivation is long-lasting and
self-sustaining.
•In case of a student, intrinsic motivation
focuses more on the subject rather than
punishments or rewards. This helps the
student to learn better.
•Successful people in work places are often
intrinsically motivated. Also, if an individual
can be made to believe in an idea, he/she
can be intrinsically motivated.
Disadvantages

•Fostering intrinsic motivation can be a lengthy process,

requiring special treatment.

•In a class or workplace, different individuals will/might

require different approaches
