6.2. TYPES OF MOTIVATION:

a) Intrinsic Motivation: It refers to the behavior that originates from within the individual,
without any reward or coercion. For example, people who are intrinsically motivated to run

do so because they love the feeling of running, and it is an important part of their identity.
b) Extrinsic Motivation: It refers to behavior that is driven by external rewards such as

money, fame, or praise, as opposed to motivation stemming from within the individual.

Everything that is promised to complete the task or received as a result of task completion are
extrinsic motivators.
