Document Summary
Commerce 1ba3 - lecture 8 motivation theory 1. The extent to which persistent effort is directed toward a goal. Direction - going in the right direction. Goals - what you"re trying to achieve. Experts in organizational behaviour distinguish between extrinsic and intrinsic motivation. There"s a motivation from outside of oneself example, money as an incentive to do a task. Extrinsic motivation stems from the work environment, external to the task, and is usually applied by others. Pay, fringe benefits, company policies, and various forms of supervision. Some motivators have both extrinsic and intrinsic qualities. An internal motivation, wanting to do a task because you will enjoy it, no outside incentives. Intrinsic motivation stems from the direct relationship between the worker and the task and is usually self-applied. Feelings of achievement, accomplishment, challenge, and competence derived from performing one"s job, and the sheer interest in the job itself.
