Extrinsic and intrinsic motivation are 2 types of human motivation. Understanding them both and the roles they play can improve motivation levels.
Extrinsic motivation refers to external factors or rewards that drive individuals to engage in a particular activity or behavior. This can be things like money, fame, adoration or social status.
Intrinsic motivation involves engaging in an activity for the inherent satisfaction or pleasure it brings, without the need for external rewards. This can be a genuine interest in, or a love for the task at hand, and a commitment to mastery of a skill.
While both have their place, optimal levels of performance are often found with intrinsic motivation.
Challenging goals are either intimidating or highly motivating depending on how we relate to those goals.
The first step is to confirm a goal is meaningful and in alignment with your deepest desires about how you want to live. If it isn’t, ask yourself why you’re going for it. If the goal is meaningful and achieving it will positively affect your satisfaction levels, go for it.
The next step is to make a commitment to the goals that matter most, and create action paths to achieve them. When you approach situations related to your goals, this will help you make the right decisions.
Next, create a series of smaller goals that, when achieved, help you achieve your ultimate goal. Big goals, when viewed in isolation, can feel intimidating and out of reach. Many small goals, on the other hand, are simple and actionable.
Put simply, behavioral inhibition is the act of inhibiting unwanted behaviors. When we make a commitment to goals related to work and life, behavioral inhibition plays a crucial role.
For instance, if you have the goal of being a great parent, and decide that yelling at your kids doesn't fit the kind of parent you want to be, behavioral inhibition would be the act of noticing the urge to yell, and choosing a different course of action.
Primary motives are innate, biological motives that are essential for survival, such as hunger, thirst, and sleep. These instincts directly fulfill basic physiological requirements, ensuring an individual's well-being.
In contrast, secondary motives are learned and acquired through experience. They encompass psychological and social factors. These motives, like the desire for achievement, affiliation, or autonomy, are not immediately tied to survival but play a crucial role in shaping individual behavior, values, and long-term fulfillment.
While primary motives are universal and essential, secondary motives are influenced by personal and cultural contexts, reflecting the complexity of human motivation beyond basic survival instincts.
People in leadership roles, perhaps more than anybody within an organization, must have a strong understanding of human motivation. Motivation plays a central role in organizing, and gaining the most from a diverse group of people, and galvanizing them around common goals.
Understanding motivation helps leaders navigate stressful situations in the workplace, and provide targeted, continual feedback that is customized to the individual.
A common misconception about stress is that it's all negative. Depending on your relationship with stress, the right amount of stress can improve focus, energy levels, and what we call 'arousal levels'.
In many cases, achieving optimal levels of task performance relies on a healthy relationship with a moderate level of stress and knowing how to leverage stressful situations to improve performance.
