Intrinsic and Extrinsic motivation
Abstract
Motivation can be defined as “the need or reason for doing something.”[1] Deep down, what do people want? Why do people adhere to norms? Is everyone equally motivated by money, social life and fame?
The purpose of this article is to dive into the concept of intrinsic and extrinsic motivations, the 16 universal human needs, and their practical implication. Starting from the theory of human motivation of A.H. Maslow, this paper shows the characteristics of basic needs and their hierarchy of prepotency arrangement. Subsequently, the distinction of intrinsic and extrinsic motivations is carried out and the concept of multifaceted motivation is tackled.
