Answer: B - Extrinsic motivation comes from outside sources, rather than intrinsic motivation, which comes from within you. Usually, when we think of extrinsic motivation, we think of things such as doing something because you will get paid, doing something because you want to prove someone wrong, etc.
Extrinsic motivation comes from external factors, such as rewards, punishments, recognition, or other incentives. Examples of extrinsic motivation include:
- receiving a bonus for meeting work targets
- being recognized with an award for a job well done
- working hard to avoid negative consequences, such as losing a job or getting a poor grade
- participating in a competition to win a prize
- engaging in a behavior to gain social approval or avoid social disapproval.
