❙ Oneself
❙ Other people.

Intrinsic motivation
11
Cont….
❚ Students are likely to be intrinsically motivated if
they:
❚ Attribute their educational results to internal factors
that they can control e.g. the amount of effort they
put in.
❚ Believe they can be effective agents in reaching
desired goals i.e. the results are not determined by
luck.
❚ Are interested in mastering a topic, rather than just
rote-learning to achieve good grades.
12
Cont…
❚ In terms of sports, intrinsic motivation is the
motivation that comes from inside the
performer. That is, the athlete competes for
the love of the sport.
13
Extrinsic motivation
❚ Extrinsic motivation comes from outside
of the performer. Money is the most obvious
example, but threat of punishment are also
common extrinsic motivations.
❙ In sports, the crowd may cheer the
performer on, and this motivates him or
her to do well. Trophies are also extrinsic
incentives.
14
Cont….
❚ Competition is often extrinsic because it
encourages the performer to win and beat
others, enjoy the intrinsic rewards of the
activity.
❚ Social psychological research has indicated
that extrinsic rewards can lead to
overjustification and a subsequent reduction
in intrinsic motivation.
15
Self-control

cont
❚ Drives and desires can be described as a deficiency
or need that activates behaviour that is aimed at a
goal or an incentive.
❚ These are thought to originate within the individual
and may not require external stimuli to encourage the
behaviour.
❚ Basic drives could be sparked by deficiencies such
as hunger, which motivates a person to seek food;
17
Cont…
❚ whereas more subtle drives might be the desire for
praise and approval, which motivates a person to
behave in a manner pleasing to others.
❚ By contrast, the role of extrinsic rewards and stimuli
can be seen in the example of training animals by
giving them treats when they perform a trick
correctly.
❚ The treat motivates the animals to perform the trick
consistently, even later when the treat is removed
from the process.

Abraham Maslow's hierarchy
of human need
20
Cont….
❚ Since needs are many, they are arranged in order of
importance, from the basic to the complex.
❚ The person advances to the next level of needs only
after the lower level need is at least minimally
satisfied.
❚ The further the progress up the hierarchy, the more
individuality, humanness and psychological health a
person will show.
21
Cont…..
❚ The needs, listed from basic (lowest,
earliest) to most complex (highest, latest)
are as follows:
❚ Physiological
❚ Safety
❚ Belongingness
❚ Esteem
❚ Self actualization
22
Frederick Herzberg's two-
factor theory,
23
Cont…
❚ Hygiene factors (e.g. status, job security, salary
and fringe benefits) that do not motivate if present,
but, if absent, result in demotivation.
❚ The name Hygiene factors is used because, like
hygiene, the presence will not make you healthier,
but absence can cause health deterioration.
❚ The theory is sometimes called the "Motivator-
Hygiene Theory."
24
Drive Reduction Theory
❚ grows out of the concept that we have
certain biological drives, such as hunger:
❚ As time passes the strength of the drive
increases if it is not satisfied
25
Unconscious motivation
26
CONT….
❚ Unconscious motives add to the hazards of
interpreting human behavior and, to the
extent that they are present, complicate the
life of the administrator.
❚ On the other hand, knowledge that
unconscious motives exist can lead to a
more careful assessment of behavioral
problems.
27
Cont…
❚ Few contemporary psychologists deny the
existence of unconscious factors, many do
believe that these are activated only in
times of anxiety and stress.

Controlling motivation

Early programming
30
Cont…
❚ Brain activity in cortical regions is about
twice as high in children as in adults from
the third to the ninth year of life. After that
period, it declines constantly to the low
levels of adulthood. Brain volume, on the
other hand, is already at about 95% of adult
levels in the ninth year of life.
31
Organization
32
Cont…
❚ It is usually suggested that it is critical to
maintain a list of tasks, with a distinction
between those which are completed and
those which are not.
❚ The viewing of the list of completed tasks
may also be considered motivating, as it can
create a satisfying sense of
accomplishment.
33
cont,…
❚ Other forms of information organization may also be
motivational, such as the use of mind maps to
organize one's ideas, and thereby "train" the neural
network that is the human brain to focus on the given
task. Simpler forms of idea notation such as simple
bullet-point style lists may also be sufficient, or even
more useful to less visually oriented persons..
34
Employee Motivation
❚ Workers in any organization need something
to keep them working. Most times the salary
of the employee is enough to keep him or her
working for an organization .
❚ If no motivation is present in an employee,
then that employee’s quality of work or all
work in general will deteriorate
35
Cont..
❚ Keeping an employee working at full
potential is the ultimate goal.
❚ There are many methods,
Some traditional ways or motivating workers
are placing them in friendly competition is a
great way to generate motivation among
employees.

it can be
❚ Direct behavior toward particular goals
❚ Lead to increased effort and energy
❚ Increase initiation of, and persistence in, activities
❚ Enhance cognitive processing
❚ Determine what consequences are reinforcing
❚ Lead to improved performance.
