Study Notes

  • Motivation is defined as the desire to initiate and maintain a behavior, either driven by intrinsic (activity as an end in itself) or extrinsic (task as a means to an end) factors.
  • Intrinsic motivation is experienced when an activity is inherently enjoyable or meaningful, while extrinsic motivation involves pursuing a task for external rewards like praise, power, or money.
  • Extrinsic rewards, such as money or praise, may initially motivate but their effect can be short-lived, with intrinsic motivation being more effective in sustaining engagement in the long run.
  • Having multiple motivators (both intrinsic and extrinsic) can sometimes lead to decreased overall motivation and performance, a phenomenon known as the overjustification effect.
  • To enhance motivation, focus on building intrinsic motivation by making tasks more enjoyable in the moment, such as involving friends or creating a positive environment.
