  4. Motivation and organisations What is motivation? Motivation is the activation or energization of goal-oriented behavior. Motivation is said to be intrinsic or extrinsic.

  5. Intrinsic versus extrinsic Intrinsic motivation occurs when people are internally motivated to do something because it either brings them pleasure, they think it is important, or they feel that what they are learning is significant. Extrinsic motivation comes into play when someone is compelled to do something or act a certain way because of factors external to him or her (like money or good grades).

  6. Motivation How about your motivation? • Are you intrinsic or extrinsic motivated? • Please explain this to your neighbour

  7. Herzberg’s theory • Motivators; (e.g. challenging work, recognition, responsibility, learning possibilities) which give positive satisfaction • Hygiene factors; (e.g. status,job security, salary and working conditions) that do not motivate if present, but, if absent, result in de-motivation.

  8. Three dimensions Motivation can be characterized along three dimensions: 1.Effort: the energy that one wants to / will be stabbing into action to reach a certain goal. 2.Strategy: the strategy that someone chooses to reach a certain goal. 3.Commitment: the extent to which a person feels connected to the target.
