Understanding Intrinsic and Extrinsic Motivation

Motivation involves internal and external forces driving goal-oriented behavior. Intrinsic motivation stems from personal satisfaction and internal rewards like creating art out of pure joy. On the other hand, extrinsic motivation relies on external factors such as rewards, money, or recognition, like an employee working overtime for a bonus. Balancing both types of motivation and considering positive and negative consequences can enhance one's drive.
