Intrinsic and extrinsic motivation

  Hidden costs of rewards (Lepper & Greene, 1978)
              Increase of extrinsic motivations => increase of the feeling of external
                           control => decrease of intrinsic motivations

Overjustification effect: Consequences in education

 By justifying learning in economic terms, children are taught
              to hate learning and to love money.

"Do rewards motivate people?" The answer is:
"Sure - they motivate people to get rewards.”
                                                                  If you

Overjustification effect: Workplace examples

                       Excitement for

  1.   Expected rewards shift intrinsic motivation to extrinsic motivation.
  2.   Once rewards are no longer offered, interest in the activity is lost
  3.   Prior intrinsic motivation does not return
  4.   Extrinsic rewards must be continuously offered as motivation to sustain
       the activity
                                                                                 18

                                          thus display different types of intelligence.

                                          remains subjective.

        “It is not the strongest of the
        species that survives, nor the
        most intelligent that survives. It
        is the one that is most adaptable
        to change.”
